Cycle along the Vaart on the towpath, round trip between Leuven and Tildonk. It’s wonderfully flat, so it’s also easy to do with a tandem bike or a wheelchair-accessible bike. Visit the ’14–’18 Experience Center and travel back in time more than a hundred years to the turbulent war years and the stories of the region. Afterward, enjoy the peace and quiet in the meditation garden of the former Ursuline convent.
