Description by the author

You cycle through the heart of Flanders, where industrial history and nature meet. The route takes you past hidden gems, from mining cathedrals to art in the green.

Start at the Sint-Barbarakerk in Eisden, an impressive brick structure from the 1930s with expressionist details. Then you follow quiet roads to Cycling through the Trees, a unique bridge where old trees have been given new life as a resting point.

In the Sonian Forest, UNESCO World Heritage, you breathe in the silence of an ancient forest. The route winds further through rural paths, until you arrive in Ostend at the Maria Hendrikapark, where art and nature come together in a 3D floor painting.

End your journey at the Casino-Kursaal, where Marvin Gaye once recorded his music. A route full of contrasts, from mining past to coastal culture.
