The Belgic Lion and Prussian Mont. on the field of Waterloo are visible at a great distance on rt. 6 kil. Esrwarn. Passing between Harwenvover, |., and Wut- werson, rt., the line crosses the small Gette, enters the province of Liege and traverses the plain of Nerrwinpen, famous for 2 great battles, the first gained, 29 July 1693, by the French under Mar- shal Luxembourg over the allied armies under William IIL of England; the second, 28 March 1793, when the Austrians .com- manded by the Prince of Saxe Coburg defeated the French repub- lican army under Gen. Dumouriez and drove it out of Belgium. 7 kil. Lanpen. This little village was forly. an important forti- fied town which protected the Duchy of Brabant on the side of Liege : there are still some'traces of its anct. works of defence and yemains of its old walls. It was the cradle of the 2nd race of the Kings of France. Pepin de Landen, who was Mayor of the Palace to Dagobert I and during the minority of his son Sigebert, and Duke of Austrasia under Clotaire Il, died here in 712; the spot where he was interred ona little hill planted with poplars is still pointed out; his body was afterwards removed to Nivelles where his daughter Gertrude founded a Convent.

About 1 m. from here on rt. of line is MontTenarxen, the church of which built in the XV cent. con- tains an anct. statue of the B. V. 5 kil. Rosoux. 6 kil. Wanemur. This little place, on rt. of the Jaar, was formerly capital of the district called la Hesbaie, a dependence of the principality of Liege. Its inhabs. were remarkable for the turbulent energy they displayed in their frequent wars, which gave rise to this saying Qui passe dans le Hesbain Est combattu lendemain. Its ramparts are now boulevarts; it is celebrated for its ginger- bread ; the Church was founded in the XII cent. by Gauthier the Templar.. |
