You’d be hard-pressed to find a better way of getting to know the natural beauty of Flanders than from your saddle. Riding at your own pace, you’ll discover breathtaking scenery, culinary delights and historic town centres; it’s definitely worth taking your time. It truly is an unforgettable adventure.
Flanders, in the north of Belgium, is considered one of the best places for cycling in Europe for good reason. People of all ages love to ride their bikes on the region’s beautiful cycling routes. The tried-and-tested bike network makes it easy to find the best routes and link them together as you like. Most of the time, you ride on traffic-free bike paths and low-traffic small roads. Time and again, you'll pass through picturesque villages with fascinating histories and plenty of places that tempt you to stop for a bite to eat. In Flanders, enjoyment is always a top priority.
In this Collection, we present a selection of four particularly rewarding and varied Tours. They lead you through West Flanders, East Flanders, Wallonia and across the border between Belgium and France. Most of the time, you ride on canals and former railway lines, far away from any traffic. This means you can cycle through the countryside completely at ease.
We’ve included both gentle day Tours and multi-day adventures if you’re up for a challenge. Or, you can divide the routes into shorter stages as you like and enjoy them with the whole family. You have plenty of options for your cycling adventure in Flanders.
