Belgium – cycling through culture, history, and village idyll
Belgium may be best known for beer, chocolate, and waffles – but the country offers so much more! From the bicycle seat, we get to experience a varied landscape with rivers, small villages, and historic cities. In the Wallonia region, we follow the river Meuse and cycle through beautiful Dinant, with its dramatic cliff, fortress, and cathedral.
Belgium is a country with rich history, vibrant culture, and exciting gastronomy – perfect for those who want to combine activity with great culinary experiences.
