Croix Rouge de Belgique center is located here. Not a hospital, but emergency services 112, in case someone needs urgent care or help.

Here, there is a gate to prevent cars from driving further onto Allée du Bois des Quewées. Only pedestrians and cyclists can access this part of the path. I've seen workers with cars from the forestry services there unlocking the gate, but they're the only ones to have access.

This red path – which begins at Avenue Franklin Roosevelt and ends at Rue de Pinchart – actually goes two different ways, instead of one. In the woods, it separates into two different pathways.

When walking on this trail – with Avenue Franklin Roosevelt in the back and Rue de Pinchart in the front – the path does go left (as correctly indicated on the map), but at one point it also goes right and runs along the buildings/houses "43" and "41".

That path starts from where I placed the pin and it ends at the pedestrian crossing that leads to the beginning of Avenue Christophe Plantin (see on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/tKCztDw6tgj2jR9F7). There's a small blue "link" on the map, that's where the path ends. Not sure if there's a way for people like me to trace it. Hopefully I explained it well enough, apologies if not...

I regularly walk this trail to reach the bus stop located in Avenue Christophe Plantin (which I made a note to create it, because it's also missing on the map). It's a shortcut to it. It's relatively new, it was created 2 or 3 years ago maybe.

There is a bus stop here for the bus line number 17 operated by TEC.

The bus stop is called "OTTIGNIES Rue Ch. Plantin".

This bus stop has a large shelter with a roof, glass windows and a bench to sit on.

Next to the bus stop/shelter, there's also a big trash bin, and one single bicycle rack which is bolted to the ground, so one can park and secure their bicycle to it.

See the bus stop on TEC's website: https://www.letec.be/stops/Bottcpl2

"The train station was demolished last month. A new one will be built, but it won’t be finished before 2032. A temporary train station has been built on a street nearby, but the entire vicinity is being completely redone. The parkings, the bus station, the restaurants, the bicycle parkings, and more, have been destroyed or displaced. "
