Brakel provides a wide range of recreational activities. Sightseeing tours in a gipsy caravan, visits to farms, countryside holidays, you name it.
Cyclists can explore the region along the Flemish Ardennes bike network – 850km of recreational bicycle trails. An impressive walking network will take you through a variety of stunning views across the countryside. It can be pretty exhausting sometimes, but definitely worth it.
Signposted walking trails are available in Brakel.
And the Flemish Ardennes driving route will take you to some of the most charming places in the area.
