Helshoven의 가장 높은 지점에서 이제 Haspengouw의 풍경을 숨 막힐 듯 아름다운 전망으로 즐길 수 있습니다. 예술가 Frits Jeuris는 이 지역의 수십 그루의 쓰러진 과일나무로 독특한 예술 작품을 만들었습니다. 90그루의 50년 된 표준 체리나무로 구성된 목재 예술 작품인 “Helsh(ea)ven”은 2016년 말, 체리에 작은 열매를 맺게 하는 전염성 식물병인 체리 시들음병 바이러스에 감염되었습니다. 이제 쓰러진 나무들이 두 번째 삶을 얻게 됩니다. 이 예술 작품은 Haspengouw의 역동적인 풍경을 상징합니다.

Beautiful beech forest as the start and end point of our walk.

Park Abbey is considered one of the best-preserved abbeys in Western Europe. Besides the abbey and its church, the complex also includes an estate and extensive grounds with meadows and ponds. Although the abbey largely dates from the 17th and 18th centuries, its history goes back to 1129, when the Duke of Brabant gifted his hunting grounds in Leuven to the Premonstratensians. The Premonstratensians, or Norbertines, were considered wealthy and powerful and were therefore called the "Park Princes." They led a privileged life and devoted themselves to art and literature. The abbey's library once housed a renowned collection of manuscripts and early printed books. The abbots adorned the interiors with works of art, including the stained-glass windows by Jean de Caumont in the cloister and the stucco ceilings by Jan Christiaen Hansche.

Café Coureur and their Lumberjack rides in both winter and summer are slowly becoming legendary: Lumberjack is one of the first gravel rides ever in Belgium. The rides are great and varied, the staff (Peter, Simon, Virze, and the team) are extremely friendly, and the afterparty with a BBQ and a fire is a must. Not to mention the beautiful café itself with photos and other cycling elements, and the cool Kwaremont beer… Just to be clear, I don't work for Café Coureur, but I am an avid gravel rider and have been riding the Lumberjack for many years.

Beautiful Chapel, unfortunately the crypt is closed

Sometimes busy, but otherwise ideal for a bit of acceleration. But if you really want to, the small roads around it are much nicer in terms of views.

Quiet "stop-over place"
