Saturday, April 25, 2020 by marleen en marleen engels/van zeleWe enjoyed! Beautiful vistas, so close to home! Beautiful lanes interspersed with dirt roads. Occasionally crossing a busier lane but very quickly the quiet again.
Well marked. Really worthwhile.
Not suitable for road bike.

Monday, March 25, 2019 by S.F.Wonderful bike route! The views, the hills, the greenery, the bits of off road, ... a very nice tour. Certain parts are indeed less suitable for road bikes, but with a decent city bike it is perfectly doable.

Thursday, August 2, 2018 by J.V.Going to bike this route without preparation. I had better read the comments here first....
There are a lot of places where I don't want to go with my family because of the surface. Now we were on a road bike. Lucky that it has been dry for so long!
Also a lot of stopping/stopping. Not recommended at all!

Sunday, July 3, 2016 by B.M.This route is not recommended for a road bike. Especially from Melsen towards Merelbeke you rather need a mountain bike. Lots of gravel road and very bad condition of the road, mud....
