Leuven can rightly consider itself a beer city, but, beginning on the last weekend of April, the city aims to transform itself into a beer capital or, to use the official slogan, “the place to beer”.

A "bolleke Koninck" is the best-known product of the De Koninck brewery. It is cherished by every resident of Antwerp and, as a visitor, you cannot leave Antwerp without having tasted it. In addition, the large bell-shaped glass is perfectly suited to taste a Bolleke on a terrace or at the bar of an Antwerp pub, the ideal setting for this delicious route through the city of Antwerp!

The 58 km long Golden Carolus Route guides you from Brewery Het Anker in Mechelen to the whisky distillery De Molenberg in Blaasveld (Willebroek), where the brewery distills the Gouden Carolus Single Malt, and back through beautiful nature and stunning landscapes. In the city centre of Mechelen you'll discover, among other things, the Beguinage and the Palace of Margaret of Austria. And on the car-free towpaths along the rivers and canals, cycling is a true blessing.
