Tips

September 24, 2022

Cycling

The Mechelen heath is at its most beautiful in the months of August and September because the heather is then in full bloom.

Great way through the heath landscape, it is best to drive here in late summer/early autumn when the heath is in bloom.

Highly recommend this section. The cycle paths are perfect and when the heather is in bloom (August/September) it is particularly beautiful.
