In the park of Tervuren on the edge of the Sonian Forest there are several large ponds. Here in this park you will also find the Africa Museum. During the world exhibition of 1958 an African village was rebuilt here with real African inhabitants. When it turned out that these people were not resistant to the climate this "exhibition" was stopped.

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful view of a pond. For the Park in advance, water is important. There is a whole series of ponds and they receive their water from the Voer, a stream that rises in the Sonian Forest.

Mirror Pond with a view of the AfricaMuseum

Highlight • Lake

The museum's origins date back to the 1897 World's Fair, when the section dedicated to the Congo colony was established in the Palais de l'Afrique (formerly the Palais des Colonies) in Tervueren Park. Following its success, and at the instigation of King Leopold II, the temporary exhibition was converted into a permanent museum and scientific institute dedicated to the Belgian Congo, with the aim of generating interest and showcasing the country's economic potential.

The Palais de l'Afrique quickly became too small, so Leopold II commissioned Charles Girault, architect of the Petit Palais in Paris, to build a new museum and redevelop the entire site. Leopold II died before the project was completed, and the museum was inaugurated in 1910 by King Albert I.

The museum was closed for five years, from 2013 to 2018, for major restoration and renovation work.

Tervurensteenweg Forest Path

Highlight • Trail

Lovely setting, but this part of the trail suffers from age and poor maintenance; it needs significant repair or replacement. The next section on the way to the Africa Museum is new and pristine but lacks the pleasant shade of this section.

Avenue de Tervueren Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Universal Exhibition of 1897, organized as part of Belgium's fiftieth anniversary festivities, was spread over two sites: the Parc du Cinquantenaire and the Royal Estate of Tervueren. To connect the two sites, King Leopold II created a main road, Avenue de Tervueren, as well as a tram line connecting the city to the royal domain.

March 23, 2022,BEL - Quick afterwork ride

Quick afterwork ride to enjoy the sun. Cannot wait to do longer evening rides again during the week once it gets warmer...

As POTUS just arrived in Brussels for the NATO summit, the city is basically in lockdown and even with the bicycle it is difficult to get from A to B. Always impressed by the logistics behind these summits... …
