Description by the author

Ook dit najaar kun je nog op tocht met het Nieuwsblad. Elk weekend nemen we je op sleeptouw. BV of boswachter, stadsgids of kapelletjesbewaarder: allemaal wijzen ons de weg in hun biotoop.

"De Parel aan de Dijle, het Oxford van België, de Bierhoofdstad van de Wereld, de Beste Stad van Brabant: de Leuvenaars weten hoe ze met eretitels hun stad moeten aanprijzen. Naast de pronktitels dragen de Leuvenaren net zo fier de spotnaam ‘koeienschieters’. “In de zeventiende eeuw dachten de nachtelijke bewakers van de stad dat ze in een dichte mist werden aangevallen door de Fransen, die de stad belegerden. Toen ’s ochtends de mist optrok, zagen de heldhaftige bewakers dat ze een kudde koeien hadden neergeknald”, vertelt Andries Lagae, de stadsgids, ons de legende. 

De route is gebaseerd op een route van Dromos.
