Cycle through the enchanting Gents Houtland and be surprised by the rich history this route has to offer. You start your journey at junction 88 and quickly discover the impressive Kasteel Ten Velde. This old estate, mentioned as early as 1549, is a beautiful blend of nature and architecture, rebuilt in 1937 to the model of the original castle. Continue your way to the Vredegerecht, where the echoes of World War I are still palpable. Here, civil conflicts were resolved, and you can visit the council chamber to learn more about the sensational trials that took place here. With a distance of 74.5 kilometers and a medium level of difficulty, this circular route is perfect for a relaxing bike ride. Enjoy the pavement and the peaceful surroundings as you conquer the 72 elevation meters. A unique experience you won't want to miss.
