The Route

Road route ⟲201km ⇗460m

Gravel route ⟲214km ⇗480m

The largest circle of West Flanders - From the brackish seawater to the Bruges Canals. A beautiful circle that connects the vast polders with the green hills in the south.

An iconic loop, hand-plotted to perfection into a super fun, bike-friendly route full of beautiful highlights — and a unique circle on the map. 🚴‍♂️✨

To put this round on the map, you start from the iconic Cycling Café Chasse Patat in Harelbeke.

Via Hulste and the Roeselare-Leie Canal, you head north, through the forests of Meikens and Vagevuur, delivering you to medieval Bruges before the Ghent-Bruges Canal takes you westward towards the coast, where Ostend, the Spuikom, and the North Sea Boulevard along Middelkerke provide a wide, salty passage. Through the Ganzepoot lock complex in Nieuwpoort, you head inland, past Beauvoorde Castle and the quiet St. Peter's Church of Gijverinkhove towards the south. Around the Domain De Palingbeek and Vlamertinge, you cycle through the quiet surroundings of Ypres — the First World War is still palpable here in every field and every avenue. Via Geluwe and the Domain Bergelen, the circle closes. After 200 km on the pedals, you reach the point where you started. The circle is complete!

Narrow straps? That works perfectly! The route is entirely on paved roads with 8 km of cobblestones through the center of Bruges (the center route can be shortened if necessary).

Gravel bike? Then take the gravel variant of 214 km with extra unpaved sections through the forests and polder roads of West Flanders.

ps. The route is still a beta version (digitally checked to the last detail) and will soon be officially previewed by mr.granrondo. Check in the route planner if you want to join the ride. Would you prefer to go on an adventure by yourself now? Let us know if you encounter any specifics or road closures!
