What is Ixelles Ponds?
[[File:Ixelles Ponds.JPG|thumb|Ixelles Ponds]] The '''Ixelles Ponds''' ({{lang-fr|Étangs d'Ixelles}}) or '''Elsene Ponds''' ({{lang-nl|Vijvers van Elsene}}) are two [[pond]]s in the [[Brussels-Capital Region|Brussels]] [[municipality]] of [[Ixelles]]. They are between the Abbey of La Cambre and Flagey Square. With the surrounding park, the Ixelles Ponds reach from the [[Sonian Forest]] to the center of [[Brussels]]. The ponds are a very popular place for local residents. However, the water is [[pollute]]d and signs are all around the ponds. The total lengths are 700 metres (2,200 feet), and widths are 50 metres (170 feet). The ponds are separated by land. ==Other websites== {{commonscat|Ixelles Ponds}} *[http://visitbrussels.be/bitc/BE_en/monument/793/ixelles-ponds.do Visitbrussels page about the ponds] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141126055906/http://visitbrussels.be/bitc/BE_en/monument/793/ixelles-ponds.do |date=2014-11-26 }} *[http://www.opt.be/tourisme/description.php?ID=737&CLANGUE=en&T=V&ELTOID=17539 Description of the ponds on the Belgian Tourism website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927182245/http://www.opt.be/tourisme/description.php?ID=737&CLANGUE=en&T=V&ELTOID=17539 |date=2007-09-27 }} {{europe-stub}} [[Category:Ponds]] [[Category:Geography of Belgium]] [[Category:Brussels-Capital Region]]
