The stream is beautiful, but please note that free cycling in the Leuvenumse Bossen is no longer permitted everywhere since 2025. The path along the stream is unfortunately no longer accessible to cyclists. 🚳

Please note that since 2025 you are no longer allowed to cycle freely in the Leuvenumse Bossen. Although you are allowed to cross the stream here, the popular path along the stream itself is no longer allowed for cyclists.
