Special: a cycling route along various works of art in the open space of Borgloon. The works of art make you look at the environment differently and show the stories that are not always immediately visible.

City Hall
You start at Toerisme Borgloon in the beautiful Town Hall on the historic Market, where you will be informed about cycling routes and bicycle rental. Borgloon is a pleasant town in the rolling Haspengouw. It was once a fortified town from which the counts of Loon ruled their county. At its peak it was the same size as the current province of Limburg! The name Borgloon is composed of'Borg\\\' and'Loon\\\' which means'fortress in the middle of a wooded hill\\\'.

Church
Then you quickly cycle to the old steam syrup factory, where syrup is now made in the traditional way. At the beginning of the last century, Borgloon was the cradle of syrup production. Further on you will discover the see-through church Reading between the Lines, which consists of 100 layers of steel plate stacked on top of each other in the shape of a Loons church. Depending on your position, the church completely or partially dissolves into the environment. Looking out from the inside you have a very special view of the fruit landscape!
