Description
On this flat route you will discover mining heritage and the domains of De Wijers. You start in De Teut where the old coal railroad takes you towards Zonhoven, the green heart of De Wijers. From there it continues to Bokrijk where you cycle through the water. Before you know it, you're in Domein Kiewit, where you can take a break on the pleasant terrace and the kids run to the petting zoo and playground. You then cycle along the Albert Canal to the Herkenrode Abbey site. What follows is even more beautiful nature: ponds, fens, dunes, woods and heathland,... as far as you can see.

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 by E.L.A very nice tour, easy to cycle, 90% very good road surface, 10% good gravel road. Beautiful forests with large, old trees alternate with moorland, ponds and lakes where birds and frogs provide many natural sounds and sights. We cycled past old abbeys. Plenty of opportunity for food and drink.
