The KW Line didn’t stop many soldiers, but the defensive works do serve as distinctive landmarks in the landscape. Cycle past bunkers to the Leuven-Dijle Canal and admire the nature and teeming aquatic life of the Antitankgracht in Haacht. You’ll also cycle right through Leuven, so soak up the lively atmosphere and take in the beautiful historic buildings.
