Description
Herk-de-Stad is a village where there was already a settlement during Roman times. The village is strategically located on the Bruges-Cologne trade route. The predecessor of what today forms Herk de Stad was first mentioned in a papal document from 1107. The medieval history is still clearly reflected in the spacious market square. The city walls, which today form a ring road around the city center in the shape of an egg, are also a clear reference to that time.
The diversity of the area around Lummen is great. This is because the town is located at the crossroads of three different regions. Geographically, the area has characteristics of the dry Hageland, the humid Haspengouw and the sandy forests and heathland of the Belgian Kempen. There is a friendly, rustic atmosphere and the rural environment ensures that you can relax. Explore the different types of nature and be amazed at the variety you will see during this bike tour.
