Cycling Trip - To the roots and back

Frederik takes you along the history of our brewery

Our colleague Frederik Jaeckens is in charge of our facilities and technical department and also works as our health and safety advisor and - last but not least - he's a big cycling enthusiast.

"The best way to explore the Westhoek is on your bike. Do you want to enjoy a gentle afternoon ride or really break a sweat? We’ve got trails to suit every pair of legs and set of wheels! Our brewery is an ideal starting point. It’s on a cycling network and you can hire bicycles and electric bikes here."

My personal cycle trail: I’d love to share my own cycle trail with you. It’s a 50 km (31 mile) ride through the history of our brewery, from the Mont des Cats in France where it all started, past St. Sixtus Abbey in Westvleteren and back to Watou. The only gruelling section is the Mont des Cats, with a 9% slope. Get your breath back in one of the many charming pubs along the way.

Good luck!
