Info route

Starting at the Sint-Hubertuskerk in Oud-Berchem you run past Cafe Rood-Wit (the first cycling cafe) the Groen Kwartier, a new part of town created on the site where the Military Hospital used to be.

You run out of this quarter past the PAKT, where there is a city farm on the rooftops.

We are now in Antwerp's Jewish Quarter, home to the largest concentration of Chasidic Jews. We cross this neighbourhood to run briefly in the Antwerp City park.

Via De Keyserlei you then go past the Central Station to Astridplein. You don't notice it (you can smell it, perhaps), but the course then goes around the Zoo.

We now pass the second cycling cafe, Vitesse.

We then run into Borgerhout and opposite the impressive district house is cycling cafe Mombasa, the fan-base of Vocsnor AKA Victor Campenaerts.

Also in Borgerhout on Krugerplein is cycling cafe number 4, Bar Leon, home of Bike Leon.

We now return south to run along and under the railway to the Zurenborg district, but first we pass Berchem's Grafitti Street through the old Electrabel site.

The route makes a short diversions along the Draakplaats to wave to Den Draak, home of Wielerij Den Draak, the most inclusive cycling team in the City.

Before you return to Sint-Hubertuskerk, you pass the stately eclectic houses of Cogels-Osylei and the famous intersection with the houses named after the 4 seasons.
