Officially, the Demer flows into the Dijle, but at the confluence of the two, in Werchter, the Dijle is a smaller stream than the Demer. A possible explanation for why the river continues to be called Dijle is that the Dijle flows through the historically more important city of Leuven than the Demer with Aarschot and Diest.

From here one can cycle along the Dyle river all the way to Zennegat, past Mechelen, or alternatively all the way along the Demer, to Diest via Aarschot.
