The highlight along the route is the famous see-through church by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh 'Reading between the Lines', according to the British newspaper The Guardian, the most beautiful spot in Belgium! Stop at the floating chapel 'Helsh(ea)ven', a work of art by Frits Jeuris in Helshoven, and enjoy a beautiful view over the fruity landscape.
