Description
Legend has it that the entrance gate of the NORBERTIJNENABDIJ VAN AVERBODE stands right at the SNIJPUNT 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 now cycle through three provinces in the abbey's backyard.

Tuesday, May 10, 2022 by Lieve Willemshalokes , super quiet route, saw more cyclists than autos today. Sometimes we had to cross the road but without problems. Only crowd was around the station in Diest which could be avoided. But a little further on we had a nice coffee in Schaffen behind the church. Route is certainly worthy of its name. Good luck

Monday, October 25, 2021 by Nick De KooningA very nice bike ride through the wooded area around the Abbey of Averbode. I did this route with the racing bike which is very doable because the bike paths in the forest are paved almost everywhere. As the route says there is 1.2km unpaved, but this is good to ride with the course bike. A beautiful route that I can definitely recommend.
