Short description

Starting from the heart of Ghent, this scenic and challenging route takes you deep into the Flemish Ardennes, where iconic climbs and rolling countryside await. This is not just a ride—it's a journey through cycling history, with quiet backroads, panoramic views, and a rhythm that builds up to something special.

The route meanders through charming villages and farmland, gradually tightening its grip with each slope. You'll tackle a carefully selected mix of climbs—some steep, some long, others cobbled—each offering its own flavor of Flandrien grit. But all roads lead to one mythical destination: De Muur van Geraardsbergen. A brutal, beautiful ascent through the heart of the town, with its chapel perched above the cobbles, waiting like a crown at the top.

Once you've conquered the Wall, the ride softens as you return toward Gent, legs tired but spirits high. This is a true Flandrien experience: authentic, raw, and unforgettable.
