Where ?

The gardens of Aywiers Abbey

Founded in 1215, the Aywiers Abbey has prospered thanks to donations from the lords of Brussels, growing to 2000 hectares.

Since 1992, the English-style gardens of the former Aywiers Abbey open twice a year for the Garden Festival.

FAQ

Is it necessary to collect donations?

Yes, that's what a cycling challenge like Bike for Kivu is all about: having a great time, in a beautiful landscape, but also raising funds to support concrete and sustainable projects in Kivu.

FAQ

Do I need a special bike to participate?

No. Bike for Kivu is a family cycling event open to as many people as possible. All types of bikes are welcome. Even electric ones. Please note, however, that the Mountain Bike track is not suitable for road or city bikes, at least not the optional challenges organised along the route.
