The Butte du Lion

The Butte du Lion

Definitely the most visually stunning of all Waterloo Belgium attractions is the Butte du Lion just outside the welcome center. You can take a memorable climb up the 100-meter high mound. Built by local women in a bucket bridgade with soil taken from the battlefield, the monument is topped by a 28-ton concrete lion, hence the name 'Butte du Lion' or 'Hill of the Lion'. This is a great place to take photos of the sweeping fields and pastures that were once the site of the great battle.Individual ticket: 2.50 euro
