Jednodniowa wycieczka rowerowa z Leuven do Mechelen

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!
