Tips from the Community

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën
March 20, 2026, Woestijnkapel

The Woestijnkapel or Chapel of the Holy Cross is located on the Woestijnstraat in Strijland, a hamlet of Gooik. A chapel was built on this site in the 13th century, when a shepherd's dogs found a yellow copper crucifix while digging in the ground. The cross, which must have been made around 1280, quickly became the subject of veneration as a pilgrimage site for pilgrims who came to the Woestijn. The current chapel, however, was only built in 1600, and the unvaulted portal was added in 1713. Inside is a baroque portico altar from 1635 with two Corinthian columns. The chapel has been protected as a monument since 1942. Source: https://www.flickr.com/photos/erfgoed/4952793498

Apart from the maximum speed limit of 30 km/h, you couldn't have a better road for cycling.

The Dikken van Pamel is a beacon in Pamel along the Dender river, a mammoth of a landmark.

It's said that a man once passed through Pamel who was so tall and heavy that he defied the boundaries of the ordinary. Victor De Klerck, almost two meters tall and weighing, according to some, up to three hundred kilos, early on became a figure whispered about rather than spoken. On hot summer days, he would slide into the Dender River, and anyone who saw him swore he floated as if the river itself carried him. Passing boatmen carried the story along, and with every bend in the towpath, it became a little more fantastical. On Sundays, he appeared in church, where he needed three chairs—a figure that, generations later, still whispers through the village. And yet, despite his mythical stature, he stubbornly refused every circus director who wanted to exhibit him. As if he knew that some riddles are not meant for the public. Today, his statue stands by the Dender, not as certainty but as a question mark. A quiet reminder that sometimes, only one river flows between fact and fiction.

For cyclists, it's a close call. The towpath is narrower than other towpaths. And especially during the week, you'll be weaving between hikers, runners, recreational cyclists, and athletic cyclists.
