Our visit involves a guided 'medieval' walk from Grote Markt (Old Market Square) to Groot Begijnhof (Great Beguinage), followed by a visit to the Parkabdij (Park Abbey).

Programme
We meet at parking 1, Campus Drie Eiken, Universiteitsplein 1, 2610 Wilrijk.
The bus must leave at 9:30 a.m. sharp, so please be in time!

About one hour later we meet our (English speaking) guide at the Old Market Square. He'll talk all the way to the Great Beguinage. We should learn a lot from this two hour medieval walk (the gods of Leuven will provide good weather …)

We'll have our picnic on the spot while Karibu treats us to an appropriate drink.

In the afternoon the bus takes us to the Park Abbey (afternoon) for a 1.5 hour guided tour with the prior
After some free time for everyone, the bus leaves Leuven at 5:30 p.m. (back at Campus Drie Eiken around 6:30 p.m.)
