Description
Discover beautiful Lier
The starting point of this route is at the town hall of Lier. The Grote Markt where this town hall is located, but also the Begijnhof and the Zimmerplein in Lier seem to come straight from a picture card. The old fortresses embrace the center and on sunny days you can stroll here. Fancy a culinary pleasure? Then go for a cup of locally roasted coffee accompanied by a Liers Vlaaike. You simply cannot miss that. From Lier you can cycle straight into the Nete valley. The city is located at the confluence of the Grote and Kleine Nete.
Pallieting along the water
Cycle for miles on the car-free towpaths along the meandering Nete and let yourself be taken to Gestel and Nijlen, among others. The Nete is bordered by rose-red giant balsams and you will also become acquainted with the harmonious architecture of a Palladian villa and old mansions. Of course you will also pass some atmospheric cafes, where you can put the local verb"pallieteren\\\" (enjoy life) into practice.
Plenty of sights
On the way you can enjoy the beautiful Gestel with a protected village view. You will find the Sint-Lambertus church and two castles here. If you want something completely different, pay a visit to the Horse Dairy Lier. In this farm you can taste mare's milk and boost your health. At the end of the route you will also pass the Sint-Gummarus Church. This church is a fine example of Brabant High Gothic.
Height Profile
Just across the border from North Brabant you will find the Antwerpse Kempen. Enjoy forests, heaths, beautiful old sights such as beguinages and abbeys and charming towns and villages such as Turnhout, Lier and Malle. You can also let yourself be pampered culinary with the most delicious regional dishes
