Gita in bici di un giorno da Lovanio a Malines

This cycling route takes you from the lively university town of Leuven to the charming city of Mechelen, covering about 27.4 km of mostly flat terrain. You’ll enjoy a smooth ride for the most part, with over 90% of the surface being asphalt and most of the way on dedicated cycle paths, quiet roads, and a few access roads.

Leaving Leuven, take in the beautiful historical architecture – the city is famous for KU Leuven, one of the oldest universities in Europe, and its bustling squares. After weaving through the peaceful Flemish countryside (with only a bit of gentle climbing and more gradual descent than ascent!), you’ll start approaching Mechelen.

Mechelen is known for its impressive St. Rumbold’s Cathedral and quaint canals, making it a perfect spot to end your ride with a coffee by the water. The route is ideal for anyone looking for a relaxed day out – whether you’re riding solo, with friends, or with the family. Don’t forget to pack a camera; there are plenty of scenic spots along the way!
