Description

A delightful cycling tour awaits along the Dijle river, stretching from Haacht to Heffen, with a captivating passage through the heart of Mechelen. This scenic route offers a blend of natural beauty and historical charm. Leaving Haacht, the path winds through lush, green landscapes. The Dijle river, a tranquil companion, guides cyclists past picturesque meadows and scattered woodlands. Keep an eye out for various waterfowl and, depending on the season, vibrant wildflowers adorning the riverbanks. The air is fresh, often carrying the scent of damp earth and blossoming flora. As you approach Mechelen, the landscape gradually transitions from rural tranquility to urban elegance. The Dijle becomes more integrated into the city's fabric, with charming bridges and riverside buildings. In the city center, prepare to be enchanted by Mechelen's rich heritage. The majestic St. Rumbold's Cathedral (Sint-Romboutskathedraal), a UNESCO World Heritage site, dominates the skyline with its impressive tower, offering panoramic views. Don't miss the beautiful Grote Markt (Grand Market Square), lined with historic guildhalls and inviting cafes. Other notable sights include the elegant Schepenhuis (Aldermen's House) and the intricate Palace of Margaret of Austria. Cycling through Mechelen offers glimpses of its well-preserved beguinages and charming narrow streets, all reflecting centuries of history. Beyond Mechelen, the route continues its gentle meander towards Heffen, once again embracing more open, natural surroundings along the Dijle.
