At the top of the Balenberg, let go of your brakes and take a flying start toward Begijnendijk. There are plenty of stops along this green cycling loop: at the Damiaan Museum, you’ll discover the world of Jozef “Father Damiaan” de Veuster; the Plas van Rotselaar with the Ter Heyden keep is simply magnificent; and the old mill in Betekom stands out like a gem. After your ride, take some time to visit the Sven Nys Cycling Center on the Balenberg.
