Monument aux Forestiers
Monument aux Forestiers submitted by Alta-Falisa : On a winter afternoon, February 2014. The Sonian Forest (Forêt de Soignes, Zoniënwoud), lying at the South-Eastern outskirts of Brussels, is a popular destination any time of the year. To be very precise, this monument lies about 25m inside the region of Brussels... (Vote or comment on this photo)
This memorial, comprising a Stonehenge style trilithon and circle of eleven smaller standing stones, was created in 1920 by Richard Viandier (1858-1949), best known as a painter. It is dedicated to the 11 foresters killed during WWI, whose names are engraved on the 11 stones.

In principle, parking a car nearby being explicitly forbidden, you would have to walk about 1 km in the woods, criss-crossed by well maintained paths (map or GPS advisable).
But if you just want to quickly take a photo of the monument, there is a possibility to park a car about 80 m in front of monument, at the junction of Drève du Haras with Avenue Dubois (but I would not be responsible for any possible fine if you leave a car there for a long time...!)

To be very precise and thorough : this monument is on the territory of Brussels.
Therefore, please add one more region in Belgium, namely "Bruxelles-Brussel" (bilingual, please), then shift this page from Vlaams-Brabant into Bruxelles-Brussel.
Remember : we have Legislative elections end of May !!!
