First, you’ll ride past the greenery of the Tangebeekbos, then follow the idyllic banks of the Maalbeek lined with pollarded willows and dotted with old water mills. Then a lovely flat stretch awaits you along the banks of the Brussels-Scheldt Sea Canal, all the way to Kapelle-op-den-Bos, past imposing bridges and locks. You’ll then ride along winding paths to the Zenne in Zemst and follow the river all the way back to Vilvoorde.
