Thursday, October 6, 2022 by Willy BeyensThis route lives up to its name. Orchards ....as far as you can see. Castles... we came across several ( beautifully located, but not to visit) and forests with quiet bike paths. Highly recommended to do... also in autumn.(Still lots of apples and pears on the trees!)
