Description by the author

This recreational cycling route along the junction network of Brussels takes you past around 30 locations with a story about the World War. On Sunday September 3, 1944, British troops entered Halle and liberated the very first city in Flanders from four years of German occupation during World War II. Shortly thereafter that same day, the British 2nd Army entered Brussels via the Tervurenlaan. On the Waterloolaan, a large crowd of Belgians cheered the soldiers who had driven the German occupiers from their capital.
