What makes ACT2 unique is the combination of historical depth and untouched natural beauty, with a culinary touch. You cycle along the anti-tank ditch from the Second World War, with bunkers and old forts as silent witnesses of the past. The first part leads you from Antwerpen through forests, over sneak paths and along atmospheric water features until you arrive at minicamping Het Ven, where a long-awaited shower awaits you. This is the perfect place for a relaxed overnight stay in rural tranquility.
The second stage takes you via Brabant heathlands, Roman burial mounds and beautiful single tracks back to Belgium. Along the way you can cool off in a fen or take a break at a café along the route. ACT2 is tough but accessible: it's not a race, but an experience.
The route is suitable for Mountainbikes (recommended) and gravel bikes and can be ridden all year round - although you should beware of ticks in the summer, and the sandy paths can become very soft in dry weather. Looking for an adventurous two-day trip full of nature, history and cross-border paths? Then ACT2 is your perfect introduction to the world of A-Cross bikepacking.
