Hello everyone,
In the hot days I came across the following hidden gem: https://kwaliteitzwemwater.be . I was wondering which other useful websites exist for Belgian citizens and started to assemble an “awesome list” like they exist for IT technologies at https://gitlab.com/MartenBE/awesome-belgium . Do you know similar hidden gems or handy online resources for Belgian citizens? Please let me know or place a pull request 🙂
At the moment there are still some caveats:
* It is hard to draw a line between a useful link and a not so useful link. At the moment the bar is not that high and I/We will filter it through after a while when the list has grown.
* The links are skewed to dutch websites as I am Flemish, so Walloon contributions are also very welcome.
Hopeful it is or will become a helpful resource for someone out there.

Sites like Walonmap, Walstat, Wallangues, [interactive map of bathing sites](https://www.lesoir.be/219327/article/2019-04-19/ou-se-baigner-en-wallonie-la-carte-interactive) etc.?
Ik ben op zoek naar een kaart van Vlaanderen/België van ziektes per gemeente. Dat je kunt filteren op bv kanker en kunt zien per gemeente hoeveel gevallen er zijn per capita. Die data moet toch bestaan maar vind ik nergens.

Niet per sé nuttig maar in mijn ogen een hidden gem, via [http://schaapspoor.herokuapp.com](http://schaapspoor.herokuapp.com) kan je real time een kudde schapen tracken die in Gent gebruikt wordt voor begrazing van bermen
The whole of https://www.geopunt.be/
https://parkeerverbod.info/ voor stad Antwerpen om te controleren of een verkeersverbod geldig is of zelf geplaatst/datum veranderd/… Vroeger werd er veel gefoefeld, nu met die elektronische borden vaak niet functionerende borden al gehad. altijd handig om even te controleren. Geen idee of dit voor andere regio’s ook bestaat

You can add the tax on web website
The health portal, where you can see your own patiëntendossier
Heh, I’m getting flashbacks to those “startpagina.nl” sites from the early internet days.
Not sure if that counts as “handy”, but I find Brussels’ [Inventaris van het bouwkundig erfgoed](https://monument.heritage.brussels/nl) amazing. I love architecture and every time I see an interesting building in Brussels, I check this website. It gives information about the construction date, the architect, a bit of historical context…
[https://search.arch.be/](https://search.arch.be/); register for a free account and you can search digitized copies of microfilms of all civil registry records pre-1910, and church records predating the French Revolution. Great for ancestral research.
[http://balat.kikirpa.be/search_all.php](http://balat.kikirpa.be/search_all.php) Belgian Art Links and Tools; search old photos of monuments and artwork.
Official list of everyone in Belgium with a riziv number. (aka every healthcare provider) You can use it check if someone is conventioned or if they can ask whatever prices they want.

Only useful links or also cultural heritage? If it’s the latter: http://www.zottenbere.be/
[The hoge nood app](https://en.hogenood.nl/app), to find public toilets. It’s a dutch app, but works in Flanders too.
/u/MartenBE : Not sure if I should be proud of you for using i3, or disappointed because you use nano….
Anyways, about the list: I like the idea, but imho if you want to make something like this, it should only be sources of data. Currently you have websites such as hln.be and a trade website for airsoft gear on there. If you include those, you can just as well include every single .be site in the repo…
In the same vein as buienradar:
Pollenradar: https://www.hooikoortsradar.be/
To indicate where, in which quantities, and of what plant there will be pollen in the air. Handy for people suffering from hayfever
http://www.waterinfo.be kan je raadplegen om alle waterpeilen doorheen heel Vlaanderen te raadplegen.
https://www.waterinfo.be/Themas#item=overstroming/actueel zie je een overzicht op een kaart en kan je klikken op de symbolen om meer info te krijgen over die specifieke water meting
Voor Brussel bestaat er http://www.flowbru.be gemaakt in 2004 en dat is er aan te zien. Zelfde concept wel.
