More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You begin at a church square as late afternoon light slants off stone facades and the cobbled streets of Leuven hiss with the footsteps of hurried students. The city rearranges itself into a crime scene: shop windows keep their secrets, narrow alleys hint at shortcuts, and the River Dyle nudges you toward the next clue. A phone in your hand becomes a detective's dossier, and the ordinary urban hum turns purposeful as you chase a fictional killer through real streets.
