This route takes you through Heist-op-den-Berg, a charming town in the Antwerp Kempen. In the rural countryside you can enjoy the tranquility and the natural landscape.
Heist mountain
Soon after boarding you cycle up the Heistse Berg: a 48 meter high hill that forms the heart of Heist-op-den-Berg. You will see a number of sights here, such as the old courthouse and town hall, the fourteenth-century Sint-Lambertuskerk and the parsonage from 1769. Further on you will enter the Hoogbergbos. You can climb the water tower on Sunday afternoon for a view that will take you as far as Brussels and Antwerp when the weather is clear.
Herenboss
In the outlying area you cycle through a succession of farmland and bushes. It is nice and quiet to make miles here. You regularly see old chapels and Kempen farmhouses. Between junctions 67 and 94 you drive a bit on the Kempen-Hagelandroute, a cycle path that has been built over a former railway line. You then drive into the Herenbossen, a beautiful nature reserve in the Nete valley. Visit Tourism Heist-op-den-Berg for more information about this region.
