Rivierenland - Cycling along the banks of the Rupel and Dijle.

The first cycling tour of 2026 takes us through Rivierenland, along the banks of the Rupel and Dijle rivers. We depart from Boom and follow the Rupel upstream towards the iconic 3Ri4en area. The Blue Bridges form an important intersection here where cyclists, walkers, and water meet.
