You can take the name “Green Belt” literally here: cycling through the green belt that surrounds Brussels. It’s a mix of panoramic views, rolling landscapes, green valleys, elegant castle estates, fertile farmland, and majestic forests. Although the hills can be quite challenging at times, your efforts are frequently rewarded with Brueghel-esque landscapes and views of bustling Brussels. Also typical are the craft breweries and cozy beer cafés. So be sure not to forget to enjoy yourself and treat yourself to a refreshing local drink.
