Trail Reviews

Willem VS
April 29, 2024, F03: Affligem - Hoproute

A route from Tourism Flemish Brabant. They describe it as follows: Depart from the impressive Affligem Abbey and discover a surprising piece of greenery near Brussels on this undulating route. You cycle through what was for centuries one of the richest hop regions in Europe, past the hop fields of Affligem, Asse and Opwijk (field is 500 m from the route). You cycle a bit on the Leirekensroute, the old railway line between Londerzeel and Aalst. The route contains a number of unpaved roads and cobblestone roads.​ Personally, I think this route is a lot less. The cobblestone lanes mentioned are common to the Land van Asseroute. You only pass the Hop Fields in the distance. Furthermore, much paved and reasonably built up. And yes, no matter how commendable the Leirekens route is, it remains a cycle path that runs straight, through less attractive terrain. For me, the Pajottenland has more appeal than this side of Affligem.
