Tour of Oudenaarde

It is wonderful cycling in the Flemish Ardennes, an officially recognized Regional Landscape in the province of East Flanders. The alternation between fields, bushes and sunken roads forms a beautiful backdrop for every cyclist to ride through. There is something new to discover behind 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 can still experience the real Flemish peace and conviviality here. Towns such as Sint-Maria-Horebeke and Roborst are a feast for the eyes, they are among the 50 most beautiful villages in Flanders. Gourmands also feel at home here, you can enjoy delicious fresh local products almost everywhere.

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

The route starts and ends at Brouwershoeve in Michelbeke. This green oasis of tranquility offers you the ideal place to unwind and relax. It is nice to relax on the sun terrace or in the sunbathing area. The house has a spacious living room, private bathroom with shower and whirlpool, private kitchen and spacious bedroom with 4 beds. Children's facilities and Wi-Fi are available. Inspired by the beautiful surroundings and the historic chapels? Be sure to also drive route 148483.
