Description

The LF 30 is one of the four cross connections on the large loop of the Flanders Cycle Route. This international route connects the Delta area of Zeeland (Nl) from Breskens via Biervliet and Sas van Gent to the Scheldt in Ghent. From there it follows the stream across Belgian territory to the southwest of East Flanders (Kluisbergen). The entire route has 150 km, the Belgian route is a trip of 100 km. For a refreshing rejuvenation cure, cycle along the old arms of the Scheldt and through the bustling tub of Ghent. From north to south: The LF 30 enters Flanders via Oude Polder. South of Wachtebeke you cycle around the provincial domain of Puyenbroek. The route runs through an open agricultural landscape just past Laarne, together with the LF 5 Flanders Cycle Route, into the center of Ghent. It can be busy in Ghent, so enjoy the peace and quiet in Laarne in the vicinity of the medieval castle, complete with towers and moat. After Ghent you continue to follow the banks of the Scheldt upstream. In Zevergem you will have to force yourself not to leave the path on the dike and explore the paths along the banks of the old Scheldt arms. They look mysterious and alluring and they open up prospects for a romantic cycling moment. After Gavere you get a small foretaste of a Flemish Ardennes course, but that's it. From Dikkelvenne, the route quickly returns to the Schedeoever. In Oudenaarde you just don't cycle across the Markt, but this beautiful setting for the Brabant late Gothic town hall is only 300 m off the route. After Oudenaarde you cycle in the direction of the Kluisberg. The LF 30 ends in Ruien at the foot of this Flemish hill, at a junction with the LF 6 Flanders Cycle Route. From here you have two choices: enter the flat West Flanders via Esfcanaffles or brave the Kluisberg and continue across East Flemish soil. Tour The LF 30 is a perfect link for multi-day trips through the provinces of West and East Flanders. Linked routes The other cross connections are the LF 2, LF 35 and LF 38. Near the Sas van Gent, near the Oudenburgse Sluis, the Flemish part of the LF 30 connects to the Dutch section of the LF 30.
