Description
Legend has it that the entrance gate to the Norbertine Abbey of Averbode stands right at the intersection of the provinces of Flemish Brabant, Limburg and Antwerp. The first fathers could not have suspected this when they were looking for a suitable place to found an abbey around 1134. Cyclists can thus today cycle through three provinces in the abbey's backyard.

Sunday, July 19, 2026 by D.J.It's a nice trail, though it does have some slight climbs. I'm not sure if the trails are checked regularly, though, because some of the signs are hidden behind branches, which means it's easy to miss one. So maybe someone should go take a look to make sure the signs are visible.
