Discovering of the great classic legs between green and history
For cycling lovers, Belgium is not an ordinary destination. It is a country with a deep-rooted cycling culture, with a rather small area, but where each of its regions offers characteristic routes surrounded by greenery, from the coastal plain to the central Flanders to the wooded heights of the Ardennes.
Certainly for those who want to try a route in Belgium for the first time, the roads that are also ridden by the “University of Cycling” of the Ronde van Vlaanderen (the Tour of Flanders) are the main attraction. It is not only a matter of riding along mythical stretches trodden by professionals, such as the Muur van Geraardsbergen, but also and above all of discovering the lush beauty of the small roads, sometimes cobbled, surrounded by the magical atmosphere of the Flemish countryside. In your rest moments, the journey will take you to admire the beauty of the historic cities, first and foremost Bruges, with its canals that have earned it the nickname of Little Venice.
However, cycling Belgium also rhymes with the Ardennes, a region of hills and forests where you can follow in the footsteps of the greats, along famous roads such as the Redoute or the Roche aux Faucons. At the same time, you will discover another aspect of Belgium’s beauty, breathing in the charm of places that have been the scene of battles and stories of immigration.
