hroughout the world, our Google Street View special collects allow users anywhere, on their mobile devices or computers, to see the world’s great sites. We’ve now just added some of the best of Belgium to the collection. Stroll through the Mardasson Memorial commemorating World War II’s decisive Battle of the Bulge or take a peek at the saxophone-filled homage to Albert Sax over the Meuse River in Dinant.
The images were taken with the Street View Trekker backpack on which is mounted a panoramic camera, and Street View Trolley , a cart with a camera system. Both tools make it possible photograph places inaccessible to Street View cars.
The project includes a shout out to three special Belgian towns: Wavre, Grobbendonk and Auderghem, the winners of Google eTown Awards in 2013. We award this prize to municipalities that benefit the most from the economic potential of the Internet.
In Wavre, we’ve captured images of the City Hall.
In Auderghem, we take a look inside the Val Duchesse castle.
In Grobbendonk, we feature the ruins of the OLV Ten Toon priory.
