Excursión ciclista de un día de Lovaina a Tervuren

Set off from the bustling student city of Leuven, famous for its historic university and lively cafés, and roll southwest towards the leafy town of Tervuren. This mostly paved 21.5 km ride is a joy for any cyclist who enjoys a mix of tranquil countryside and stretches of smooth cycle paths. You’ll climb gently—the total ascent isn’t too daunting, and the paved stats mean your ride will stay pretty comfortable.

Most of your journey keeps you on quiet roads or dedicated cycleways, winding through charming Flemish villages and green patches. Expect your wheels to mostly hit asphalt, with little surprises of paving stones for character. The descent towards Tervuren is pleasant too, as you approach the edge of the Sonian Forest.

Arriving in Tervuren, reward yourself by exploring its grand park and the stunning AfricaMuseum. Whether you’re riding for fun or planning a café stop at both ends, this route is perfect for a relaxing pedal outside the city.
