This accessible bike route takes you from the Halve Maan Provincial Park in Diest to Averbode Abbey and back through a varied landscape. You’ll cycle along the railroad tracks, through quiet residential neighborhoods, and on a bike path through the woods. Stop by Het Moment at the abbey to recharge with a local snack or a beer, and take your time to admire the abbey itself. The Gothic gatehouse is the oldest part, dating back to the 14th century.
