Hallerbosroute

62 - 53 - 50 - 55 - 65 - 28 - 56 - 57 - 58 - 59 - 52 - 49 - 51 - 61 - 60 - 63 - 62 - 53

This bicycle route combines the natural beauty of the Hallerbos with the heritage of the city of Halle and recreation in the Provincial Domain of Huizingen. Sometimes you have to hit the pedals - the Hallerbos is quite tough - but along the Charleroi-Brussels Canal it is blissfully flat. Here, by the way, you can spot The Enchanted Forest, the largest street art work in Europe. On your way, you're sure to pass a cool pub or brasserie to sample a Geuze or other regional product.

Short route through the Hallerbos
You can also start this route at Halle station, at junction 65, and make a shorter version of it. At junction 52, cycle to junction 50 and the route becomes 18.7 km. Even on this shorter route you don't have to miss the purple carpet of wild hyacinths (end of April)!

Before you hit the road:
Due to the renewal of the Forest Gate Bridge in Halle, junction 65 has been modified and due to improvement works on the canal and its banks, part of the bicycle network between junctions 65 and 28 (= bicycle highway F20) is not accessible. Follow the detour via the Bergensesteenweg. During the weekend, you can also use the other bank of the Canal between Halle and Lembeek. The Short Hallerbos route is then 19.3 km long.
