You’ll cycle past the region’s most beautiful historic buildings, such as Leuven City Hall and St. Peter’s Church on the Grote Markt, the fabulous Horst Castle, and Vlierbeek Abbey. In Wezemaal, you’ll immerse yourself in wine culture before taking a break at the Kessel-Lo Provincial Estate and letting the kids run wild in the adventure playgrounds. Expect a few steep hills in this land of the Hageland hills.
Please note: Due to roadwork, the route is interrupted from Horst Castle until January 2026. Return via junctions 98 and 99 and continue following the detour to junction 43.
