Lac de Louvain-la-Neuve, Artificial lake in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium.
The lake covers 7 hectares with an average depth of 1.2 meters, surrounded by dense vegetation that provides habitat for various bird species.
Built in 1984 as a storm basin and fishing pond, the lake underwent a major renovation in 2009 requiring the drainage of 85000 cubic meters of water.
The 'Reverie of the Solitary Walker' path stretches 1570 meters around the lake, offering visitors a route decorated with sculptures and art installations.
Visitors can enjoy picnic areas, disc golf course, and hiking trails that remain accessible free of charge every day of the year.
During the 2009 drainage, teams discovered 300 carp weighing between 25 and 30 kilograms each, along with unusual objects at the bottom.
