The alternation between fields, forests and sunken roads provides a beautiful backdrop for every cyclist to ride through. There is something new to discover around every corner: enchanting village views, characteristic chapels and lovely views from the higher roads.

The route takes you through nature and the countryside, but also through some authentic villages. You will still experience the real Flemish peace and conviviality here. Places like Sint-Maria-Horebeke and Roborst are a feast for the eyes, they are among the 50 most beautiful villages in Flanders. Gourmets also feel at home here, you can enjoy delicious fresh regional products almost everywhere.

Cycling fans pay attention: between Sint-Kornelis-Horebeke and Zegelsem you cycle through the famous Haaghoek. This 1700 meter long undulating cobblestone road is often included in the route of Flemish spring classics. So you too can drive it! The route of this road has been marked on the map since the eighteenth century. Since 1995, Haaghoek, like dozens of other cobblestone roads, has enjoyed protected status as a monument.

The route starts and ends at Brouwershoeve in Michelbeke. This green oasis of peace offers you the ideal place to slow down and relax.
