This route designed by ProVélo and Mons’ Maison des Cyclistes cycling centre connects Mons’ Grand-Place to
SILEX’S, the interpretation centre of the archaeological site of the Neolithic Mines of Spiennes,
which are UNESCO classified. An exceptional site where going down a mine is the highlight of a trip
(advance bookings is required, on 0032 65 39 59 39).
The outward trip between Mons and SILEX’S is as direct as possible; the return offers you a slight
detour through the low-traffic roads of villages in the immediate vicinity of Mons.
