This itinerary focuses on the southern side of the city. It starts in the center on the steps of the magnificent city hall. 3 churches are visited as all 3 have something noteworthy to mention.

As in Ad’s Path some of Ad Wouters’ artwork is mentioned. The main theme here is rather the historic city wall, on which restoration works are finally being started. An attempt was also made to lead you through the green areas and parks. The walk ends in Park Abbey, worthy of a visit in its own right.

Leuven, can be easily accessed by train, bus or car. If you’re flying, Brussels Airport (BRU ^IATA) is where you’ll want to land: it’s just 13 minutes away from Leuven by local train. See Leuven#Get in for more details.
