Excursión ciclista de un día de Tervuren a Lovaina

This ride takes you from the leafy suburb of Tervuren to the vibrant university city of Leuven—two hotspots that perfectly capture the blend of history and nature in the Brabant region. You’ll roll out from Tervuren, known for its grand park, shimmering ponds, and the impressive AfricaMuseum. Early on, you’ll enjoy mostly quiet roads and smooth cycleways, with a gentle uphill that gives way to a satisfying descent as you approach Leuven.

Along the way, expect scenic farmland, little villages, and plenty of greenery—much of this route keeps you away from busy traffic. The surface is predominantly paved, with splashes of paving stones and concrete adding a bit of character to your ride. The final stretch delivers you right into Leuven, famous for its beautiful medieval city center, lively atmosphere, and of course, its world-class breweries. If you have time, park your bike on the Oude Markt (called the “longest bar in the world”) and soak in the buzz. All in all, a relaxed ride perfect for a weekend adventure!
