On our second day, we pedal through Belgium’s rich tapestry of culture and history, beginning with an early climb. We cross familiar cobblestone roads and pass tributes to the humble bee and the cycling icon Eddy Merckx, a proud reminder of Belgium’s golden cycling heritage. Deep within the newly recognized Brabantse Wouden National Park, we navigate winding forest paths and even stumble upon cheeky mushroom sculptures. Our ride brings unexpected challenges as we detour onto an unrideable, eroded trail, discovering remnants of WWII bunkers, and eventually reach Waterloo—a battlefield steeped in history, where the fate of Europe once hung in balance. Finally, as the weather turns stormy, we find ourselves chasing down our unique accommodation: a boat. After a wet, frustrating search, we board and unwind with a late dinner, ending the day on a floating oasis.

Twee weken geleden(29/9) ben ik nog met de fiets naar Waterloo gereden (ritje van 156 km o.a. door het Zoniënwoud), vorige week ben ik nog gepasseerd langs het standbeeld van Eddy Merckx (Sven Nys route). Zeer mooie streek om te fietsen. Jullie houden wel van "niet te gemakkelijk" blijkbaar 😉
Geniet nog van jullie avontuur.
As you said after the first one, you will have passed us by but my guess is that you did so a long way west of us
We will see when the vid realises but I’ll be there, watching and liking
Great trip so far.
Ps that looks a lot of gear to be carrying especially with two bikes loaded
Hij was weer mooi, maar ik zou toch betere wegen opzoeken .😂 het lijkt soms wel een MTB track
You must have passed very close to my house. I live in Lasne, between Rixensart and Waterloo. I recognise the paths seen in the video 😊😊
prachtig👌👍👍
