July 25, 2023,Flandern 3 Genk - Leopoldsburg - Lommel

A stage full of impressive monuments lies behind us. As on yesterday's stage, we visited two more hard coal mines. The architecture of the winding towers, turbine halls, etc. is always unusual, as if the builders wanted to outdo each other.

The condition and signage of cycle routes in Belgium has been fantastic so far. We are very impressed!!!
