Friday, July 17, 2020 by K.D.Very nice bike route. Surprising how much green there is in the vicinity of Ghent. Especially the stretch of cycling in the Gentbrugse Meersen was very pleasant. Also in Ghent this cycling tour brought us to unknown places! Unfortunately in Ghent the directions were not always found. The road works between 16 and 1 meant that we ended up cycling 44 km.
