Description by the author

During the Ascension week in 2020, I cycled this route for the benefit of "Kom Op Tegen Kanker" (as an alternative to the canceled #de1000km cycling tour, #samentrappentegenkanker). This new route is a smooth trajectory as close as possible(*) to the national border, but still rideable with a road bike. In Antwerp, I followed the border along the Scheldt with the ferry from Kallo to Lillo. (*) Since Belgium was in lockdown due to Covid-19 (#corona), the border could not be crossed anywhere (to NL, D, L, F). Exception: upon approval from the police patrol, I was allowed to go back and forth to Baarle-Hertog. I completed the route in 6.5 days in bikepacking style (4x hotel, 2x starry sky). REQUEST: I have put great care into building this route and would greatly appreciate it if you also cycle the route: you register it and if you have any comments, please note them via "Comments". WISHING YOU A LOT OF SUCCESS!!! ps see also www.strava.com/activities/3504668375 (note: this is 1517 km because my sleeping places were sometimes a few km away from this border route).
