Hebari Hike&Bike🇿🇦🇱🇺🇲🇫
December 20, 2024, *Leuven-Heverlee rondwandeling

This was a beautiful walk with sunny weather and as a highlight certainly Park Abbey. The surroundings of Leuven and Leuven itself are very worthwhile to visit. Make it a long weekend. Even then it is too short. We will definitely go to Leuven again.
