    Parc du Cinquantenaire or Jubelpark is a large public, urban park in the easternmost part of the European Quarter in Brussels, Belgium.

  • 12. Etangs d'Ixelles Brussels
    The Ixelles Ponds are two freshwater ponds in the Brussels municipality of Ixelles. The ponds we can see today are those spared by a 19th-century campaign of drying the wetlands of the Maalbeek valley between the Abbey of La Cambre and Flagey Square. The two long and narrow ponds, whose total lengths are approximately 700 metres , and widths are approximately 50 metres , are aligned on a roughly North-South axis and are separated by a narrow strip of land. With the surrounding park, the Ixelles Ponds are the tip of a long strip of almost uninterrupted greenery reaching all the way from the Sonian Forest deep into the urban tissue of Brussels. The ponds are an extremely popular recreation area for local residents, pertaining to the Belgian upper-crust. However, in the late 1990s the water w...
