Icon description route Description

Landscape Park de Merode is a region where man has always lived close to nature. Besides vast forests and beautiful moorlands, fertile fields, orchards and gardens today provide a generous basket full of delicious regional products. In farms, farm stores or workshops, the industrious inhabitants translate this close connection with their land into tasty or special products. These places are often hidden in the quiet countryside. Ideal for exploring by bike along car-free roads. The cycling routes in this booklet guide you along the most interesting addresses. Oh yes, leave with empty panniers, because they are guaranteed to be filled with deliciousness when you return!
