Description
Between Aalst and Dendermonde it is wonderfully varied cycling. Along the route there are a number of information boards that give you an impression of life during the First World War in this region.
Thunder
The route starts in Aalst, a beautiful old city on the Dender. Along the banks of this rippling river you drive into the countryside. Here you mainly look out over wet meadows, on the horizon you sometimes see a church tower of a nearby village looming. At junction 87 you cross the Dender via a lock. A little further on you see how the Dender flows into the Scheldt. In Dendermonde you will find plenty of terraces for a break.
Belfry
Just like Aalst, Dendermonde also has a beautiful old centre. Here you can see, among other things, the fourteenth-century Belfry, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. At the roundabout at the city park you can see the Brussels Gate from 1822, one of the two remaining city gates of the former fortress. In the outskirts, the rural friendliness of the Scheldeland prevails again. From junction 43 you follow the former route of railway line 61. Now that is a nice, quiet cycle.
Height Profile
Take a trip through the beautiful nature reserves of East Flanders and then immediately plan a break at one of the many breweries that you will encounter here. Plan Bier takes you along the nicest breweries and regional beer cafes in the region of 's Waasland, Scheldeland and the Flemish Ardennes. That will be enjoyable!
