The Flemish-Dutch Creeks Route

Description

After crossing the expressway, cycling along the Schipdonk Canal and the Leopold Canal, we arrived in the Netherlands.

At the Leopold Canal, you could stop for a farm ice cream. The bike ride took us often over dykes that lay between the fields. We regularly passed small woods and creeks.

The Dutch villages we encountered were super cozy, including Waterlandkerkje and IJzendijke. The first Protestant pastor was from Geraardsbergen.

The ride continued along the Scheldt, then inland again, passing through creeks and meadows back to the starting point. It was a quiet route, little traffic, with occasionally a bench overlooking the meadows and tourist information.
