From Bruges to Zeeuws-Vlaanderen

Bruges offers you an unforgettable cycling experience in a setting of picturesque alleys, romantic canals and countless monuments. In the countryside you cycle through the quiet farmlands and polders.

Ghent gate
The route starts on the Pandreitje, a beautiful old street in the middle of Bruges. You can still see the partly seventeenth-century gatehouse of the further demolished prison. The Gentpoortstraat dates back to the thirteenth century! At the end of it you can see the fifteenth-century Gentpoort, one of the four remaining city gates. When you leave Bruges, you enter a landscape of old forests and fields. The closer you approach the border with the Netherlands, the more extensive polders you see.

Cross gate
You just cross the Dutch border. You drive here on De Kruisvest, a wide promenade on the former fortress. There are still four old windmills, such as the Sint-Janshuismolen. At the end is the fifteenth-century Kruispoort. What a history!
