Heverleebos
National forest
👍👍 Update on Jan 16, 2021.
It was snowing today and I went across the wood from the very south to the very north in the evening. Unexpectedly scary but also romantic views.
It would be a surprise whenever you come.

Universiteitsbibliotheek en bibliotheektoren
University library
👍👍 Today, I took my 3-year-old child to visit the Universiteitsarchief KU Leuven . The most interesting thing was that we climbed the tower together. The process of climbing the tower was very meaningful. It took 40 minutes in the library and the ticket was 7 euros. The conductor is very patient.

Sint-Geertruikerk
Catholic church
👍 A beautiful stone church, very rare and known as a wonder of Leuven, because the tower was built completely without nails (i.e. without wood, completely in stone). This spire, designed by Jan van Ruysbroeck, is striking because it is completely openwork: one can see straight through the stone frame....
