Bike routes in the Flemish Ardennes

Bike routes

Experience the Tour of Flanders in the slipstream of cycling champions such as Eddy Merckx, Johan Museeuw and Tom Boonen. Ride from hill to hill where each cobble, each piece of asphalt and each square centimeter are witnesses of more than 100 years of cycling history. You'll enjoy sightseeing on top of the Wall and the Paterberg. Imagine how you ride like a true Tour of Flanders winner across the finish line in Oudenaarde. Shortly: the ultimate bike experience in the Flemish Ardennes.
