Duke Jan Primus of Brabant was a true beer lover. He granted privileges to the breweries of Brabant and saw his name immortalized in the Primus pilsner from the Haacht Brewery. This is where your tour through the Demer and Dijl landscape begins. You’ll cycle through a diverse landscape of farmland and wooded areas, passing historic buildings along the way. Highlights include the famous Horst Castle, the Moedermeule, and the Gempemolen.
