Hiking
The history of the Dijlepark is connected to the Dijle mills and a mansion that was built here in a street around the park.
In the past, there were many mills upstream of this location. At one point, the Driutiuscollege owned a mill that stood where the Dijle mills now stand. That college also had a garden where the park is now. That garden is in turn at the base of the garden and the pavilion that later belonged to the house of Bethlehem, a mansion dating from 1856.

This romantic park is one of the hidden gems of Leuven. Noteworthy are the refined bridge and gazebo. Ideal for a picnic or a rest.
