Bike Tour - Alden Biesen

We followed a cycling tour around Alden Biesen, Tongeren, and Bilzen (40km) This region is known as Haspengouw (NL) or Hesbaye (FR). It is a traditional cultural and geophysical region in eastern Belgium. Tongeren was the Roman capital of this province during the Roman time. It has often been called the oldest city in Belgium. The Dutch-French Language Border runs through the southern part of this region which marks the historical extent of Latin which gradually morphed into French in the southern Walloon region, and the Germanic language spoken in the north which is now the standardised Dutch shared in Flanders region in Belgium and the Netherlands. #cycling #belgium #bikelife

Very cool.

Nice video! Just a pity that you missed the beautiful actual castle of Alden Biesen itself! Further, I guess you were just a month too early, as Haspengouw is the Belgian fruit area, during March and April all fruit trees are in full bloom... ;-)

Bedankt! Indeed, I must go back there. It's supposed to be much more beautiful during the blossoming season. I should've included a video of the Alden Biesen itself, you're right. It was magnificent. I had mounted the action camera on a rental bike, so I didn't get the best footage of the castle. Hopefully next time :)
