Kick off your ride in the heart of Brussels, a city known for its iconic Grand Place and scrumptious waffles. As you pedal westward out of the bustling capital, you’ll quickly find yourself swapping city streets for quieter roads and dedicated cycle paths—almost half the route is on low-traffic or car-free sections, so you can relax and soak up the scenery.

The route is almost entirely paved, making for a smooth ride, with just a touch of gentle ascent (about 84 meters total; nothing too crazy, but you’ll feel the difference compared to central Brussels). The path takes you through leafy neighborhoods and past classic Belgian paving stones, offering glimpses of everyday local life.

You’ll end your ride in Dilbeek, a tranquil suburb sometimes called the "Gateway to the Pajottenland." It's got a village vibe but sits right at the edge of big-city action. Dilbeek is also known for its historic water castles and picturesque parks—perfect for a post-ride picnic or stroll. All in all, it’s a great little journey for anyone wanting to escape the city bustle and explore the gentler side of Brussels’ outskirts.
