Route Details
Neighbourhood Walks: Matongé
Even though our African quarter is known far beyond the national borders, this ‘quarter’ is actually no more than one street and two galleries. The Chaussée de Wavre is the main axis – the heart, the Ixelles and Porte de Namur galleries are the lungs, and the streets around them are the blood vessels. The many hairdressers, cosmetics shops, 'African fastfood'-restaurants, money transfers, cafés, travel agencies, shops from which tropical fruit and vegetables pop out into the streets, and evangelical churches attract Africans from all over Belgium. But also from the Netherlands, Northern France and Western Germany people flock towards this particular part of Brussels. This quarter is unique. Such a strong concentration of African activities is unparalleled in Europe.

About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
