A landmark in the landscape. The indication of an ancient symbolic place. An idyllic resting point during a day trip. A cultural-historical gem. Or a peaceful place of contemplation. Everyone has their own reason for enjoying special religious heritage. After all, the words inspiration and contemplation can be interpreted in so many other ways these days, and every way is good. During the bicycle route, seven saints and folk figures lead you around Westerlo, Herselt, Laakdal, Meerhout and Geel. On your journey you will discover a lot of gems. One discovery grand and famous - just think of the castles of the de Merode family or the impressive abbeys of Tongerlo and Averbode - the other small and simple, but certainly no less beautiful for that. In between, we include a few moments of musing: a few major and minor life questions to ponder while cycling. These are all excellent ingredients for a cycling tour with room for relaxation and rest.
