Land of Mortagne

Description

With this route, I want to cross the Land of Mortagne. A region I know for the many beautiful walks I did there using the walking junctions website. A gently rolling landscape, stunning views, with many church paths, old square farms, occasionally a forest, and the Scheldt.

From Gullegem, I ride along lovely paths to Kortrijk. Through beautiful villa neighborhoods in Kortrijk and the attractive bike path near the hospital, I arrive after a first climb in Bellegem.

After a descent, I arrive in Dottignies with its beautiful estate Ronceval. There, I take the Trimaarzate (old railway) towards Avelgem. In Helkijn, I exit and ride to the Scheldt. I follow it until the crossing of the Scheldt with the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal.

Along Outrijve, a piece of Trimaarzate, I reach the Guldensporenpad, a car-free path from Kortrijk. A little further, I pass another piece through the Land of Stijn Streuvels, Ingooigem, and Vichte. Beautiful route!
