Path along the Grote Nete

Highlight • Trail

Along the Nete Canal, the wind is your friend or opponent. It's always fun to be able to make speed here, but know that the towpath is there for everyone.
Courtesy is appropriate here.
Enjoy together.

If you are looking for an atmospheric café to replenish your burnt sugars, be sure to stop at cycling café Blauwen Hoek. You can go there for delicious snacks and a nice cup of coffee, tea or spirits.

Cycling café Den Blauwen Hoek has been around for more than 75 years, but has only been converted into a real cycling café since the autumn of 2019. At the front of the café there is a terrace where your gaze immediately falls on a racing bike on the facade of the café.

Inside you will find many old cycling photos, miniature flandriens that are displayed and of course the race that is broadcast on TV as much as possible. At the back, the love for cycling is even more visible. Here, artist Raff Klinge from Hulshout has embellished the stone facade with an illustration of Belgian cyclists from the past and present. The original idea was to have a complete race with famous Flemish cyclists painted on the wall, but the space was too limited for that. His ode to Belgian cycling is often used by passing cyclists as a backdrop for a (group) photo.

So don't forget to admire the Street Art of the cycling icons on the rear facade.

Nete in Lier

Highlight • River

Here you can always cycle or walk peacefully.
On warm days it can be a bit busier at certain times of the day but with mutual respect everything works out.

Zimmer Tower

Highlight • Monument

The Zimmertoren with the miraculous Jubelklok is the most famous cityscape. The original Corneliustoren, converted into Zimmertoren in 1930, is dedicated to the life's work of Louis Zimmer, together with the Zimmermuseum. The exhibition about time and space shows the birth of the universe from the big bang. (Tuesday-Sunday: 10am-12pm & 1pm-5pm)
