Fascinating high moorlands, impressive reservoirs, picturesque forests and romantic rural idylls awaits in East Belgium. With a 850-kilometre (528 mi) network of cycle paths, you can easily explore the diverse region and put together your own routes. To make the planning even easier, just choose one of the Ovelo Tours in this Collection.
We present 10 Ovelo Tours here that range from easy to difficult. Each ride takes you through the most beautiful countryside in East Belgium and along the Vennbahn, a traffic-free former railroad. On the cycling network, you ride to the highest point in Belgium, the Botrange, through the high moorland of the Hautes Fagnes and along the wonderful Vennbahn Cycle Route. You also dip into various river valleys, such as the Our or Amel, and pass impressive reservoirs.
If you’re looking for the ultimate challenge, you can combine the Ovelo Tours. You can also easily shorten the routes. There are no limits to adventures in East Belgium.
