Ixelles Ponds, Protected heritage lakes in Ixelles district, Belgium
Two elongated freshwater ponds span 700 meters in length and 50 meters in width, separated by a narrow strip of land.
The ponds represent remnants of wetlands in the Maelbeek valley, preserved during urban development between La Cambre Abbey and Place Flagey in the 19th century.
Multiple sculptures decorate the area, including monuments dedicated to writer Charles de Coster and sculptor Charles Samuel near the water edges.
Fishing activities take place on Wednesdays, Sundays, and public holidays, with regulations requiring caught fish to return to the water.
The surrounding area features diverse tree species including linden, maple, plane, chestnut, willow, and tulip trees.
