Trappist Achel | The Heart of Belgium: Part 6

Our trip is soon coming to an end, and it's going by faster than we expected now that we're out of the Ardennes, the hilly region of Belgium. We arrived back in Flanders, where we're warmly greeted by flat bike paths!

I sometimes cycle from the city of Eindhoven to Achel. I love cycling through our countryside and use the abbey as a nice stop.

[@Michaelebills]

I liked your video... I lived in Achel Belgium as a child... I miss that town. Used to play around the Church fountain.

[@MichaelHviid-d9m]

I can't believe just how good your content is. Does anyone have any sugggestions as to what to watch after "The Heart of Belgium" by this content creator?

[@russtex]

Really beautiful countryside!

[@jaredestes5458]

Peter, this has been an awesome series! Thank you!

[@PeterBragiel]

Jared Estes thank you Jared!

[@maralorca6518]

Great episode. The beers in there must be so good.

[@PeterBragiel]

Thanks Mara! The beers at Achel were spot on :)

[@missyemaya9669]

i do love Belgium! That was the 2nd place i ever went out of the country.

[@PeterBragiel]

Beautiful country!

[@leonardomilaniseckler3606]

Muito bom. Nice, assistindo aqui do Brasil

[@Robinramakers]

I live in the province where Hasselt is the capital. I loved all your video’s, but this one was more special for me. I even was in Hasselt during the fantastic football match against Japan. I hope someday you come back to discover all the other delicious beers (preferably on a bike). I could reccomend you some brewery tours. Greetings!

[@PeterBragiel]

Oh cool! I wonder if we rode by your place :) Which town do you live in? I'd be happy to take you up on your beer tour offer next time we're in Belgium. The trappist breweries were nice, but it would've been nice to see some variety. Thanks!

[@Robinramakers]

Peter Bragiel I live in Riemst, it is a small village but the Albert Chanel that I think you followed lays next to it. If you ever decide to came back, you can always ask me for some inside information, and I would happily buy you two a beer!

[@Joshhallman]

Niiiiice. Great energy to this episode. You can tell when the Panther activates and settles into the journey, then becomes one with the road. Sad to see it end, but excited for the next episode ... #NoFrillsVibe

[@PeterBragiel]

Josh Hallman Falcon! Thanks my man. The settling down seemingly always happens near the end of a journey. It must be some sort of acceptance of finality. A metaphor to life? Hmmm. It feels good to almost cross that finish line. #NoFrillsNoFinish

[@JohannesNikitin91]

Soo nice video again! Great job man!

[@PeterBragiel]

Johannes Nikitin thanks Johannes!

[@11thstalley96]

Thank you so much for this video! Since Achel brewery has only recently been opened, I haven’t seen a lot about it online, so your video was a real treat. I hope that you were able to try the Achel Extra, which besides the Rochefort 10, is my personal favorite Trappist beer.

I just started watching another travel channel called Abroad in Japan and he's in the middle of doing a 2000 km cycling run down through the length of Japan. Funny how my favorite channels are on the same wavelength right now! Sad to see The Heart of Belgium coming to an end :(

[@PeterBragiel]

Nina Lund biking is where it’s at! Wouldn’t be surprised if there are more travelers out there creating bicycling content. It’s a great way to see the world and be active. I recommend bike travel to everyone who is willing and able.

[@dortchem]

Dude, I’m was thinking about doing Belgium next year. You’ve sold me

[@Joshhallman]

Dortch does Belgium.

[@PeterBragiel]

Sweet! You should definitely go. From Belgium you can visit so many other destinations in Europe. It’s in a great location.

[@Joshhallman]

Panther and Dolphin do Belgium.

[@PeterBragiel]

Josh Hallman is there a Falcon cameo?

[@Joshhallman]

I will be there!

[@halfthrottle]

Did you ever have a moment on your ride when you looked through your panniers and wondered why you were carrying around so much junk you never used? I feel like I always over pack, but it's easier to get away with on a motorcycle.

[@LivingintheCivic]

Love this episode! Belgium is an amazing country! I have a question about your videos. Do you do all of the graphics for your videos?

[@PeterBragiel]

Living in the Civic thanks man! I don’t personally make the graphics. I have someone make those for me

[@jackf1841]

When biking in Belgium, better to stay in Flanders :) (Wallonia is nice too, but lacks the biking infrastructure)...

[@dirk2518]

There are nice bike routes in Wallonia too, called Ravel (Randonee a Vélo)

It's so sad to know that achel's monk community was dissolved in January 2021.

[@pietateip]

dude there was a whole square with 1000's of people where you could've watched that match with a 4 min walk :D any ways, I enjoyed the series, production quality is really there but you could've easily made your vids double the time.

[@PeterBragiel]

Haha! We were in a restaurant on a square, but maybe the wrong one!? I was wondering where all the people went. Interesting! Anyway, thanks for the comment and I’ll work on making longer videos next time. Cheers!

[@pietateip]

@@PeterBragiel thanks for the reply! I didnt expact that beacause it almost looked like you stopped make vids. plz don't! grind trough it and I really think you'll grow!
