The flowering period in the spring is the top moment to come to Haspengouw. It is always a bit of a wait when that period is exactly, roughly you have the biggest chance in April.

Lente in Haspengouw
Then we ride the Haspengouws plateau. This is a plateau in the south of the Belgian province of Limburg. The plateau is at a height between 50 and 200 meters above sea level. The plateau is characterized by the rolling landscape and the absence of springs and rivers.
This route mainly runs on secondary roads and smaller village roads. We do not ride the field roads.
On the way we pass the Chapel of Helshoven or Chapel Onze-Lieve-Vrouw of the Blijde Vrede. This is an ancient prayer place in Helshoven, a hamlet of the Borgloons district of Hoepertingen.
The route ends at the Brouwerij Wilderen. The history of the Wilderen brewery goes back to the middle of the 17th century. Brewing beer was then a profitable winter side activity in many farms. Later there was also a malting and an alcohol distillery. A modern brewery now stands on the spot where the ox stables used to be. In the distillery not only grain jenever is produced, but also eau-de-bière and even whiskey.
Further to the southwest is the Brabant Plateau and further to the east the Plateau of Herve. The route is easy to expand.
The start and end point of this route is in the Sint-Truiden area. Sint-Truiden is generally easily accessible. There are plenty of accommodation options.
Attention: as a driver, the limit is 0.5 per mille alcohol or 0.22 per mil per liter of exhaled air. In case of violation, you will therefore lose your driver's license.
