A journey of discovery through the Hageland region, the birthplace of Eddy Merckx, with the Vlooyberg Tower as its literal highlight. You’ll cycle past three fascinating works of art made from blossoms that tell the story behind this fruit-growing region in their own unique way, and past elegant rows of apple and pear trees that climb the hillsides.
