Unexpected. An old career probably? The lake is difficult to access but delightful from this point of view.

One of a total of two birdwatching huts in this part of the nature reserve of the former sedimentation ponds of the Genappe sugar factory. This one offers by far the best view with a beautiful large pond. The lookout hut is accessible via a simple gate (everything else is fenced) and a few stairs. A wonderfully quiet place too and well maintained. The classic information boards with birds that you could observe are present. The surroundings are also beautiful with a lovely path that leads you to the access to the stairs to the hut and offers beautiful views since you are already at a height before you climb to the lookout hut.

A beautiful stop along the Ravel L141. It is really enjoyable here. Herons, ducks and other birds galore in a beautiful setting. And with a bit of luck, the reflection on the water will make it all even more picturesque. I just couldn't get enough of it.

Le grand bois commune in Virginal Samme, in wet weather it is very muddy. There are 2 small ponds with, strangely, electricity poles in the largest pond. There are also agricultural tools rusting in a shed. There is also a spring along the hiking trail.

The Ermite site is located not far from another, considered one of the privileged corners of Walloon Brabant, that of Sept-Fontaines, in Dutch, Zevenbronnen, classified in 1947. Located on the territory of the communes of Braine- l'Alleud and Rhode-Saint-Genèse, in an advance from the forest of Soignes, it offers the appearance of a valley sheltering a chain of ponds, surrounded by woods, a few fields and meadows where the memory of the Augustinian monks who settled there in the 14th century. The priory, however, disappeared following successive wars and fires. The name “Sept Fontaines” comes from the 7 springs that exist there.
