Cycle through the region of painter Pieter Bruegel and get a sense of where he drew his inspiration. The little church of Sint-Anna-Pede looks as if it were plucked straight from his “Parable of the Blind.” See for yourself—you’ll pass reproductions of Bruegel’s most beautiful paintings in what feels like a real open-air museum. Your tour has much more in store, such as the Coloma rose garden and the castle estates of Gaasbeek and Groenenberg. The watermill at Sint-Gertrudis-Pede is the perfect spot for a rest. After a bike ride, a glass of local kriek, geuze, or lambic will hit the spot.
