Tuesday, June 13, 2017 by W.V.Attention : there are ground works on the cycle path from Herzele to Sint-Lievens-Esse over a distance of 1 km, very annoying situation. Best is to cycle from Herzele directly to Sint-Lievens-Esse and join the route there at the brewery. Also another very nasty unpaved section Ter Goten in Herzele.
