Icon description route Description

Felix Timmerman's most popular novel character emerged as a full-time bon vivant. Together with his Marieke, he picked every day. The location for their adventures? Lier, a small town with a high postcard content and the equally photogenic Neteboorden. Immediately the setting for this bike loop. Furthermore, you cycle past historic farms and castles, an authentic Kempen heath landscape and the quietest village in Flanders.

Friday, July 15, 2022 by Dirk Dirk van rompayVery nice ride. Only small bits along busy lanes or to cross them, but lots of towpaths on the dikes along the river. Beautiful natural areas, roadsides in bloom and still interspersed with paths along fields and woods. We even came across a meadow with bisons and their calves. Departure and arrival in Lier, also beautiful.

Wednesday, June 29, 2022 by Vera Van Hoof - TheysIf you like biking along water you are going to find this a TOP route. Nice and quiet through natural areas/ flood plain. Beautiful nature/ lots of birds. Long stretches without benches or drinking facilities though. Wide cycle paths. This is one you will do again!!!

Tuesday, June 7, 2022 by Anita SchellekensBiked this beautiful route today. All the signs were where they were needed. The route mostly go on traffic-free trails. Meandering along the Nete River. Lovely in the middle of green nature. Highly recommended!

Sunday, May 29, 2022 by Lieven FAGOTVery nice bike route, especially if you like biking along the water. Flat and quiet, little to no motorized traffic. Along the way, you can stop at a terrace. A tip: you can shorten the route by cycling from node 76 to 24: then you can also take a walk on the Kesselse Heide along the way (marked: red 3.5 km, blue 2.4 km).

Friday, August 18, 2017 by A.D.we started the bike ride with a lot of enthusiasm but came home with a hangover. From point 88 on, the range was no longer correct. And we were not alone. There were several people cursing and searching.
It's not the first time this has happened to us. Not fun at all. Hopefully this will be worked hard in the future to make the nodes match the numbers displayed on the Internet.

Thursday, June 1, 2017 by H.V.Beautiful route. Worth 4.5 stars. Were it not for the fact that quite a few junctions were recently modified. The map above on today (1/6/2017) is not quite correct anymore. The brochure is also temporarily not available at the Tourist Office in Lier. It's under revision because of changes in the junctions. Also missed some (drinking and eating) stops as a result, and little or no information about sights along the route.
But, as mentioned, beautiful route, meandering along the Great, Little and other Netes.
