Course
After starting in Halle, the riders ride through the Forests of Brabant, a unique landscape with old forest cores and open landscapes to then finish in Leuven. The region is therefore a true paradise for those who love unpaved gravel roads, monumental trees and tough climbs along hollow roads that cut deep into the landscape. No wonder this region was recognised as a national park in 2023. To ensure maximum protection of the natural value of this area, the organisers consult closely with the main partners of the Forests of Brabant.
