signage
The route is signposted with thematic signs (no nodes). You can use a GPS device or our app to follow the route through the virtual nodes.
Description
Discover the village where Sven and Thibau Nys learned to ride bikes, with the Balenberg as its literal and figurative highlight. At the summit, you’ll find the Sven Nys Cycling Center, and on the slope, you can race along the course of the Sven Nys Grand Prix yourself. But there’s also nature to explore, and with a little luck, you might spot the firefly, the local favorite. The route takes you through the Parkheide recreational forest, and every quarter hour you’ll hear the thirteen carillon bells of St. Anne’s Church in Baal ringing.
Before you set out:
This is a walk on a virtual walking network. The junctions are not marked on the ground. Follow the hexagonal red-and-white signs bearing the name of the walk.

Saturday, November 8, 2025 by A.V.real disappointment! Lots of asphalt and only a few nice pieces of forest. You just have to know that the baling hill hike can only be followed by these signs. You don't have to follow any junction because there are NONE! So I don't understand why this hike is marked as a hiking node hike!!!

Saturday, February 15, 2020 by T.N.If you like going along the track (even without a walking strip), this is your ideal walk. Only briefly at the beginning and end you will pass through a forest strip.
