Hello folks,
On February 5, 1930, Albert Einstein famously likened life to riding a bicycle, stating that "only when moving can one comfortably maintain balance." Inspired by this sentiment, my fiancé's passion for cycling and my love for photography have led us to explore the beautiful landscapes of Flanders on two wheels.
Cycling isn't just a form of exercise; it's essential for our well-being. It provides an opportunity to immerse ourselves in nature, breathe in the fresh air, and experience the tranquillity of green surroundings. Moreover, cycling is a sustainable and relatively low-budget activity, making it accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
With its extensive network of cycling routes and picturesque scenery, Flanders offers endless opportunities for cyclists to enjoy. From flat coastal paths to challenging hilly terrain, there's something for everyone to explore and experience.
One of our favourite cycling experiences in Flanders is exploring the Hageland Hills route, a 36 KM journey that takes riders through peaceful fields and apple orchards. This route, recommended for experienced cyclists, offers stunning views and opportunities to visit historic sites such as Kasteel Van Horst, originally built in the 13th century.
For those seeking a more leisurely ride, electric bikes are readily available at renting points, providing an effortless way to explore the region's charming villages and picturesque countryside.
Before embarking on your cycling adventure, be sure to check out the Cycling in Flanders website for detailed route maps, insider tips, and information on bike rentals. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a casual rider, Flanders has something to offer everyone who wants to experience the joy of cycling in one of Europe's most bike-friendly regions.
