Quick ride by bicycle from Tremelo to Begijnendijk

If you’re up for a chill ride, this route from Tremelo to Begijnendijk is a pleasant escape! Starting in Tremelo, the birthplace of Father Damien—a local hero who became famous for his work in Hawaii—the journey winds northeast over about 10 kilometers. You’ll spend most of your time on quiet roads (perfect for soaking in the Flemish countryside), and though the route’s largely paved, expect a few stretches of gravel and unpaved tracks to keep things interesting.

The terrain is gentle, with minimal climbs and lots of open farmland views. Along the way, the peace and quiet let you truly relax before rolling into Begijnendijk, a small municipality known for its charming town center and the centuries-old Beguine tradition. Great for weekend riders or anyone looking to clear their head on the bike!
