Roselare - Ypres
We warm up our legs with an easy first bike tour of just over 30 km, which will take you to Ypres, a beautiful medieval town. You will cycle smoothly through rolling hills and reach Tyne Cot Cemetery, dedicated to the Great War. The Belgium bike tour can also be done with children, provided they are used to long bike rides. Once you arrive in the city, we recommend visit the market square in Ypres, the Menin Gate Memorial and walk along the ramparts. Want to know something interesting?

Ypres - Diksmuide
Our e-bike trip ebike in Flanders continues towards Poperinge, a town surrounded by hop fields and home to the famous Westvleteren Trappist beer, produced by the monks of St. Sixtus Abbey and considered one of the best in the world. The route, flat and immersed in the quiet of the Flemish countryside, offers authentic rural views and the scents of malt and barley. Continuing along the banks of the Yser, among mills and small villages, we reach Diksmuide, a historic Belgian town. Shall we end the day by enjoying a local beer to celebrate this wonderful day in the saddle?

Tuesday

Diksmuide - Bruges
Cycling through rolling fields and gentle hills, you will reach Bruges: a unique experience in a succession of silence and Flemish views that seem to have come out of a Flemish painting.
Among parks and tree-lined avenues, you can reach the area of the mills, Vismarkt and the Bruges Fotoplaats, the most photographed corner of the city! If you like authentic handmade products, Bruges is the right place to shop: look for the Handmade in Bruges label and you can be sure you have bought a local, handmade product. These are the aspects we like about sustainable holidays.

On the saddle of a bicycle or e-bike, we visited the western part of Belgium, among water channels, malt and barley crops, surrounded by greenery.

A paradise for every cyclist!
