Geocache Description:

The lucky natives don’t need an introduction to the Coudenberg, a beautifull hill in the centre of Brussels. Because it is covered with museums it is called ‘Mont des arts’ or ‘Kunstberg’ (mountain of arts).


I will not only show you the well known spots and grand views but also some nice hidden corners.

If you find this cache quickly, that leaves you time to see a silent movie with live music in Cinematec, go underground to see what is left of the old Coudenberg palace, have a coffee on the roof terrace of MIM or enter the surrealist world of Magritte.

Practical info:


The walk should be between 1 and 2 km

In our rather flat country every mole-hill is called a mountain, but you will do some stairs. Or some extra mileage if you want to avoid them.

Not all stages are easy to locate with a GPS due to architectural reflections. A smartphone with access to Google maps might work better, especially on the 6th, 7th and final stage.
