A cycling route to savor. Literally, because you’ll not only take in the rolling Hageland landscape and the greenery of Averbode Forest and Heath, but also all the delicacies the region has to offer. Along the “Lekdreef” near Averbode Abbey, ice cream shops await you; at the Scherpenheuvel Basilica, you can sample local peppernuts; and in Diest, more treats await, such as cookies from the Stuckens biscuit factory, begijnenkoek, and other specialties.
