This bike route takes you from the birthplace of our “Greatest Belgian,” Father Damien, to his grave in the crypt of St. Anthony’s Chapel in Leuven. A fascinating journey along the banks of the Dijle, the Demer, and the Leuven Canal. You’ll pass by the Rotselaar Lake and the Kessel-Lo Provincial Estate, where you’ll always find a perfect spot for a picnic. Along the route, information signs tell you more about the Dijle Line that once ran through this area.
