Between Ghent and Mechelen you cycle through the Scheldt and Kalkmarsch, both unique nature reserves. And also through a piece of Italy! Take a short break at the Grote Markt in Dendermonde and imagine for a moment that you are in Siena, because this square is inspired by the world-famous Piazza del Campo. When the carillon sounds, however, this impression disappears quickly: a town square couldn't be more Flemish.
