Cycle along old tram tracks and learn all about the local railways at the Schepdaal tram site. But you’ll also pass many other special stops, such as the Pedemolen, which was immortalized by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. And the majestic Gaasbeek Castle, surrounded by a wooded castle park with winding paths and avenues. The centuries-old Bree-Eik farmstead stands out as a truly imposing presence in the landscape; measuring 60 by 106 meters, it is the largest in the region.
Before you set out: This route was developed for Open Monument Day 2024 by Tourism Flemish Brabant and Herita.
