Description by the author

This beautiful route takes you around Brakel in the Flemish Ardennes.

We ride over rolling hills, past wooded slopes, winding streams, and picturesque valleys. From the hilltops, you often have a panoramic view of the landscape.

This blue loop takes you, after a detour around Parike, through the Everbeekse forests, with a climb through the Steenbergbos, the Kollebroeken, and an adventurous trip through the Trimpontbos. Here you can optionally enjoy a nice stop at riding school De Paardenbloem. We then briefly cross the language border to Flobecq, the Livierenbos. You can enjoy the serene beauty of this forest, surrounded by ancient trees. Along the way, you are sure to find a perfect spot to enjoy a picnic. We gallop further along the Brakelbos to then continue towards Zegelsem along some steep dirt roads and the climb of the infamous IJskelderweg.

Via some beautiful dirt roads in the vicinity of the Burreken nature reserve, we quietly return to our starting point.
