Description
Terlanen is the most rural hamlet in the municipality of Overijse that lies at the lower reaches of the Lane, a small river that rises in Plancenoit near Waterloo and flows into the Dyle. You walk across the municipal border with Huldenberg, across the plateau between the Lane and IJse valleys. Dive into the green Lane Valley and climb the Red Forest. The forest is a remnant of the vast Coal Forest that covered all of central Belgium at the beginning of our era. Pass the Terlanenveld, also known as "The Camp," where a POW camp was established at the end of World War II. 72000 German prisoners of war were housed there in tents and barracks.
