F791 Cycle Highway: Tongeren–Bassenge (Sluizen)

A short, smooth link between Tongeren and Bassenge via Sluizen. The F791 is almost entirely on a dedicated, paved cycleway with just a tiny stretch on quiet roads, making it comfy for all riders. It’s basically flat (around 10 m up and down), so it’s great for an easy spin, family rides, or a no-sweat commute.

You’re riding through the Jeker/Geer valley on the edge of Haspengouw, Belgium’s orchard country—spring blossoms can be a highlight. Tongeren is Belgium’s oldest city, and Bassenge sits just over the provincial line, so this route neatly connects Limburg and Liège.

Expect clean surfaces (mostly concrete and asphalt), simple navigation, and a calm vibe. It’s roughly 4.4 km end to end—perfect as a quick connector or a scenic detour on a longer loop.
