Leie region bicycle route

Tuesday, July 19, 2022 by Koen AdriaensenWe found the route very disappointing. Poor signage, bad roads, narrow poorly maintained bike paths, boring, little nature, much in residential areas. In between you go through a beautiful part but that is over in a flash. Absolutely not recommended.

Tuesday, July 28, 2020 by Rudiger DesmetVery nice route. Attention: the route as indicated here on the map is not entirely consistent with the signage in the field. Especially in the vicinity of Deinze, the route has largely changed. The route no longer goes via the market square of Deinze. Also in Astene the route has been changed.

Sunday, July 5, 2020 by Christel Parys2nd part of the route much nicer than the first half, although an overhaul of the route signs is definitely in order. The Lys makes up for a lot!

Sunday, July 5, 2020 by Christel ParysNice route that starts very promising on the Zuiderlaan, but after a picturesque first km soon goes through an urban area, not the most scenic to cycle through and regularly without a bike path or poorly maintained. Delete first 10 km maybe? Do miss the ample free parking on Zuiderlaan.

Saturday, May 23, 2020 by C.B.We agree that it is a beautiful route, highly recommended. Unfortunately, we did not find a single sign from the church of Deinze to the castle of Ooidonk. That is a disappointment.

Thursday, July 11, 2019 by P.R.This route is highly recommended: it is a long but flat route, you drive along the water, through beautiful villages and residential areas, mostly surrounded by many trees which cools you down in the summer! I will certainly do this route again in autumn, which must also be a colorful beauty! What minus points are : you come across quite a few bumpy cobblestone and gravel roads, and sometimes a few pieces of busy road ! Yet for me definitely worth 4 stars !

Wednesday, July 10, 2019 by A.L.The outward ride from Ghent to Deinze was just ordinary to the point of being boring. But the return ride once out of Deinze made up for a lot. Beautifully varied with beautiful natural landscapes, picturesque streets, beautiful villas to admire and almost back in Ghent a one-man manual ferry that was open for our passage.
Tip: make sure you also have the route on gps because relying only on the signposts you will curse too often.

Tuesday, April 23, 2019 by S.S.Very nice route . Nature interspersed with villages and residential areas. You drive along the Lys, but not continuously.
Signposting is good, but sometimes too few signs which makes you uncertain and often you think you have not seen a sign. The idea behind it is that if there is no sign, you just drive straight ahead. So it's true.
I was lucky that the ferry did sail.
This was a very nice break.

Monday, April 22, 2019 by R.L.Beautiful sections; however, very poor outdated markings. Better marked with bicycle junctions ....

Thursday, April 18, 2019 by hilde waldack Very nice route, in Deinze the route is not correct. at the church the route is no longer marked. when searching we were sent along the Leie, which apparently is not the intention, according to the route on the internet.

Sunday, July 15, 2018 by Jan PriemBeautiful route with lots of variety, a lot along the water, beautiful buildings, picturesque villages. The ferry didn't work either, just followed the Leie for a few kilometers, crossed at the bridge and returned to Afsnee.

Thursday, December 28, 2017 by W.S.Nice ride! Only ride had to shorten a bit due to no spring to Afsnee. But lots of nice roads!

Sunday, June 18, 2017 by L.M.The expectation is great that if you take this route you will see something of the Lys. However, this is very disappointing because of the private banks. A few beautiful places, for the rest mainly a villa area route.

Thursday, August 25, 2016 by E.N.Beautiful scenery but you can enjoy very little of it due to the many cars along the route. Really not recommended!

Tuesday, July 19, 2016 by E.D.I forgot to mention something important yesterday.
Unless it's the fault of my GPS device, I encountered a lot of problems regarding the route to be followed, which via the GPS sometimes gave very contradictory directions compared to the signposts.
By the way, the signage is correct, although they have been rather economical with the signs. This route assumes that if there is no sign one should just drive straight ahead. This is sometimes confusing and creates uncertainty as a cyclist may think he has not seen a sign.

Monday, July 18, 2016 by E.D.Rode this route today 18/07/2016 with my wife, in beautiful weather. We cannot give this route more than half stars.
Far too many cobblestone and gravel roads, in many places we were lucky that the roads were bone dry.
Many not only poorly maintained but at times very unsafe bike paths.
In our opinion, a cycling route can do without nostalgia for - and the accompanying discomfort of - cobblestones.
The condition of the bike paths too often prevented us from enjoying the scenery because of the focus on where to safely guide our bikes.
