Balenbergwandeling

SP - 319 - 325 - 318 - 317 - 316 - 314 - 315 - 313 - 312 - 801 - 323 - 322 - 321 - 319 - 320

Discover the village where Sven and Thibau Nys learned to ride bikes, with the Balenberg as its literal and figurative highlight. At the summit, you’ll find the Sven Nys Cycling Center, and on the slope, you can race along the course of the Sven Nys Grand Prix yourself. But there’s also nature to explore, and with a little luck, you might spot the firefly, the local favorite. The route takes you through the Parkheide recreational forest, and every quarter hour you’ll hear the thirteen carillon bells of St. Anne’s Church in Baal ringing.
