Modern menhir created ca. 1920 by Richard Viandier (1858-1949) in honour of Alexandre Dubois (1843-1908), director of the Department of Waters and Forests of Belgium. Very easy to find : just 50 m to walk from a small parking place along the Duboislaan (Avenue Dubois), quite visible from the road.
Just at the outskirts of Brussels. The spot is reasonably quiet on Sundays, but less so during rush hours on weekdays...
