Description
The North Sea is art in itself, but in Knokke you will find an abundance of works of art in public spaces. Combine that with some beautiful remnants of the Bruges Triennial or Bruges Cultural Capital 2002 and you make a phenomenal route. Between Knokke and Bruges lies the Damse Vaart, and along that canal is great for cycling. This Kunst op de Kaart route through West Flanders combines art, city, water and beach.

Wednesday, June 16, 2021 by Vlaanderen FietslandLast year, Kunst op de Kaart got a lot of art lovers on their bikes. Because of the great interest, Klara and Flanders Cycling Country have given this route an update on June 16, 2021. To the extent possible, we have taken into account the comments below from cyclists.

Tuesday, July 14, 2020 by Hans VandewegheThere is no cycling along the iconic "Damse vaart", but there is cycling along the Leopold and Schipdonk canals (the so-called "Stinker" and the "Blinker"). Not bad either, of course. What I do find less interesting is that quite a few km's have to be covered along (very) busy roads...(a.o. to reach the work of D.Zoete). Too bad. The polders deserve better.
