Highlight • River

The start and finish are definitely remarkable ^^
In between, it's just straight ahead for longer stretches. But it's always flat and the surface is good for riding.

Beautiful cycling route with many gravel paths, first through the fields and the Assebroek lakes and then crossing the green Assebroek via all kinds of paths. From there to the edge of Bruges, through the domain of Ryckevelde to cycle back to Beernem via Oedelem.
