So you could just about glimpse them all in a long weekend. However, even one week wouldn’t really do them full justice. Take as long as you can. To save on midrange accommodation costs, arrange your trip to sleep in Brussels at the weekend and Bruges midweek. EU capital, Brussels, has a Grand Place that’s one of the world’s most beautiful squares. Explore seductive chocolate shops, wonderful cafés, great galleries, fine muse- ums and art nouveau buildings. And don’t miss the unique 1958 Atomium. Medieval architecture and endless canalside charm make beautiful Bruges one of Europe’s most romantic getaways. Less tourist-oriented, grittier yet somehow more satis- fying, is magical Ghent, whose intimate medieval core is complemented by a lively stu- dent vibe and some wonderful museums. Larger Antwerp is an eclectic port city whose historical credentials are balanced by its vibrant nightlife, café culture and cutting-edge designer fashions. If time allows, there are numerous appealing add-on options: Leuven, Lier, Tournai, or Mechelen. 27 Brussels Airport •# •# Zoutleeuw St-Truiden NETHERLANDS É #_ •# •# É Leuven •# BRUSSELS •# Blegny GERMANY Tienen Tongeren •# Limbourg É É Eupen •# •# Liège PLAN YOUR TRIP •# É É •# É Charleroi Haute Fagnes •# BELGIUM Airport É Mons •# É Coo •# •# •# •# Aulne Stavelot Thuin É Freÿr FRANCE •# ÉÉ É •# É Rochefort •# La-Roche-en-Ardenne IT •# É Mariembourg I •# NERAR •# Han-sur- É St-Hubert •# Lesse •# É Nismes •# Bastogne Chimay É I Vresse-sur-Semois•# ES •#Rochehaut •# LUXEMBOURG •#Bouillon É É Tombeau du Géant •# Orval 2 WEEKS Dawdling the Back Roads If you want to drive around some of Belgium’s more off-beat and rural corners, try this trip. It starts and ends in Brussels or Charleroi Airport, where you can pick up a rental car. It takes in some of the most charming countryside of the Ardennes and eastern Flanders. Head first to Mons, which now has a serious portfolio of excellent museums thanks to its year as Capital of Culture. Then drive down to beer-famed Chimay for two nights, taking in Aulne abbey ruins and Thuin on the way. Tootle along the pretty lanes to Mariembourg and Nismes, possibly taking the steam train. Visit the splendid gardens of Freÿr and the fabulous caves at Han-sur-Lesse or less commercial Rochefort, which has some fine local accommodation. From there drive down to Bouillon with its Crusader castle, and kayak along some of Belgium’s prettiest stretches of wooded valley around Vresse-sur-Semois. Follow the lovely Semois Valley in both directions enjoying the panoramas at Rochehaut and Tombeau du Géant. Visit the golden stone ruins of Orval’s monastery and its modern brewery café to taste the monks’ legendary beer. Head northeast to visit the excellent war museum at Bastogne, then cut across through thick forests via St-Hubert to La Roche-en-Ardenne. Famed for its carnival, attractive Stavelot makes a good base for a few nights and a range of outdoor activities (organised at nearby Coo), and a day hike on the Haute Fagnes. Stop for coffee and pas- tries in Eupen, Belgium’s only really Germanic city, and explore the attractive country lanes, not missing delightful little Limbourg. Nip up the motorway to visit Blegny, de- scending into Belgium’s last accessible coal mine, then, for a dose of big-city action, drop by Liège with its lively riverside vibe, top eating scene and boisterous nightlife. Next, it’s a quieter visit to appealing Tongeren, Belgium’s ‘oldest’ town, then drive the Roman road to underrated St-Truiden with random wanders off into the pretty Haspengouw area. Don’t miss the remarkable church in Zoutleeuw and drop into Tienen to see the sugar museum. Spend your last night in lively student city Leuven. 28 To Belgium Clervaux•# D N O R T H É S E A É NETHERLANDS •#Vianden É PLAN YOUR TRIP •# É Diekirch Bourscheid •# Y É É Echternach Diksmuide Mechelen N LUXEMBOURG •# •# •# A É M •# Westvleteren R Hoegaarden E £# Larochette •# #_ G •# É É •# Watou BRUSSELS •# Pipaix É BELGIUM IT É É I É É NERAR Mariembourg •# •# É Moselle Chimay •#Achouffe wine country I #_ •# ES LUXEMBOURG É •# LUXEMBOURG CITY É GERMANY FRANCE Orval FRANCE Loveable 5-7 5-7 Belgian Beer Tour DAYS Luxembourg DAYS Little Luxembourg makes an unexpectedly In Belgium you can be a complete booze- complete destination.

  • State Forestry in Belgium Since the End of the Eighteenth Century
    / CHAPTER 3 State Forestry in Belgium since the End of the Eighteenth Century Pierre-Alain Tallier, Hilde Verboven, Kris Vandekerkhove, Hans Baeté and Kris Verheyen Forests are a key element in the structure of the landscape. Today they cover about 692,916 hectares, or about 22.7 per cent of Belgium. Unevenly distributed over the country, they constitute one of Belgium’s rare natural resources. For centuries, people have shaped these forests according to their needs and interests, resulting in the creation of man- aged forests with, to a greater or lesser extent, altered structure and species composition. Belgian forests have a long history in this respect. For millennia, they have served as a hideout, a place of worship, a food storage area and a material reserve for our ancestors. Our predecessors not only found part of their food supply in forests, but used the avail- able resources (herbs, leaves, brooms, heathers, beechnuts, acorns, etc.) to feed and to make their flocks of cows, goats and sheep prosper. Above all, forests have provided people with wood – a natural and renewable resource. As in many countries, depending on the available trees and technological evolutions, wood products have been used in various and multiple ways, such as heating and cooking (firewood, later on charcoal), making agricultural implements and fences (farmwood), and constructing and maintaining roads. Forests delivered huge quan- tities of wood for fortification, construction and furnishing, pit props, naval construction, coaches and carriages, and much more. Wood remained a basic material for industrial production up until the begin- ning of the nineteenth century, when it was increasingly replaced by iron, concrete, plastic and other synthetic materials.

  • Wim P. Blockmans
    Wim P. Blockmans Alternatives to Monarchical Centralisation: The Great Tradition of Revolt in Flanders and Brabant One of the first deeds of the revolutionary magistrate which took power in Ghent on the 1st of November 1577, was to propose to the city of Brussels to revive the alli- ance made by Flanders and Brabant in 13391. This was concluded at the time when King Edward III was seeking support in the Low Countries in his struggle for the kingdom of France. Ghent, and the other leading towns of Flanders rejected the au- thority of their count and took sides with the king of England. It was in Ghent that Edward took the title of king of France, and that the Flemings recognised him as their sovereign2. The reference made in 1577 to these events concerns a whole political programme which the city authorities of Ghent proposed to the States General in May 1579, to be implemented if the peace negotiations with the King of Spain at Cologne were not successful3. The general tendency of this programme was the formation of a city-state system, bringing the whole county of Flanders under the control of the three great cities Ghent, Bruges and Ypres. Ghent prescribed in its own quarter - the abolition of autonomous rural districts, - the creation of a council of representatives of the towns to decide in matters of state, war and public order, - the reservation for Ghent of one third of the votes in the appointment of aldermen in the smaller towns. After the introduction of this political system in the quarter of Ghent, it would be recommended for introduction in the three other quarters of the county.

When exercising the right to lodge a complaint against the EIB, any member of the public has access to a two-tier procedure, one internal — the Complaints Mechanism Division (EIB-CM) — and one external — the European Ombudsman (EO). Complainants that are not satisfied with the EIB-CM’s reply have the opportunity to submit a confirmatory complaint within 15 days of receipt of that reply. In addition, complainants who are not satisfied with the outcome of the procedure before the EIB-CM and who do not wish to make a confirmatory complaint have the right to lodge a complaint of maladministration against the EIB with the EQ.
