Description

Let yourself be taken by the hilly landscape of the Flemish Ardennes on this cycling tour southeast of Oudenaarde. You drive through small towns with many chapels that adorn the rolling landscape.

Feast your eyes in Geraardsbergen
The Flemish Ardennes consist of the hilly area between Oudenaarde, Zottegem and Geraardsbergen. You will find a wide variety of landscapes with pools, spring forests, marsh forests, wooded hills and open fields. At the beginning of the route you will pass the Sint-Vincentius chapel from the 12th century. A little further on the route you cycle through Geraardsbergen. This place is notorious in the cycling world for the steep and bumpy slope of the Wall of Geraardsbergen. On the Grote Markt you can admire the neo-Gothic St. Bartholomew's Church and the neo-Gothic town hall. You will also find a Manneken Pis here that is no less than 160 years older than the famous little guy in Brussels.

Historical buildings in Sint-Martens-Lierde
From Geraardsbergen you continue cycling through Sint-Martens-Lierde and Brakel to the starting point of the route in Maarkedal. In Sint-Martens-Lierde you will find remains of the former Carthusian Priory of Sint-Martens-Bosse. This priory was built in 1329, but only the 18th century buildings have been preserved, such as the presbytery, the monastery church and the entrance gate. The church is still used.
