This 117km circuit takes you around the Hesbaye countryside where you will see many relics from the Middle Ages: square farms and castle farms, Roman churches and the land of former abbeys… Brabant Hesbaye takes you on a journey back in time for your cycling weekend! The idea of this route is to show you what Brabant Hesbaye has to offer: its landscapes, heritage, museums... and also its hospitality! This loop has been designed to take 2 or 3 days so you can make the most of the many sites to discover. www.destinationbw.be/en/trips/bike/cycling-in-the-countryside/ Prepare well for your trip: CHOOSE YOUR STARTING POINT and begin your ride in the municipality of your choice. Below you will find a list of long-stay car parks. Although this route is relatively easy, be prepared for some cobblestones. The cobblestones are particularly found in the municipality of Beauvechain, which is why an ALTERNATIVE ROUTE is offered. However, we recommend that you follow the main route to visit the Notre-Dame de Bon Secours chapel. There you can admire the work of Max van der Linden, a famous ceramic artist from the region. Some sections of the route are a bit narrow for a BICYCLE TRAILER. This is true in Orp-le-Petit and Jandrain-Jandrenouille where two ALTERNATIVE ROUTES are suggested. Thanks to the ‘points of interest’ network (see box) and the two RAVeL lines that cross Brabant Hesbaye, it is POSSIBLE TO SHORTEN this trip in different places.
