The best cycling routes around De Pinte

The Bathioveer is a foot and cycle ferry that you operate entirely yourself and that connects the banks of the Leie. It offers a fun moment of diversion during your bike ride or walk.

The Pamele Church shines on the right bank of the Scheldt and is one of the most beautiful examples of Scheldt Gothic, a transitional style between Romanesque and Gothic.

Oudenaarde's town hall is one of the finest examples of Brabantine Late Gothic architecture in Belgium. It's a place filled with stories, ceremonies, and traditions, and an absolute eye-catcher on any walk through the city. With the sun shining from above, it's truly magnificent 😍

Check the ferry schedule in advance: - During May, June, July, August, and September, and the Easter holidays: 7 days a week - from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM (or until sunset on shorter days of the year). - From October to April (excluding the Easter holidays) only on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays: same hours as above. The landing stage for one of these ferries is located along Dijkweg in Afsnee, near the St. John the Baptist Church on the right bank. A crossing is definitely worth the effort, as not only the Afsnee church but also the rectory and the village itself are protected gems. Further on, towards Sint-Denijs-Westrem and Sint-Martens-Latem, there are numerous hiking and cycling opportunities.

Ideal for cycling on this safe track, approximately 45 km between the two towns

The gate also serves as a bridge over the Kalebeek stream. The north facade of the gate (facing the church) features, in addition to the date 1864, the coat of arms of the t'Kint de Roodenbeke family, who acquired the castle that year (and still own it).

Meersgat is one of four places in the valley area where you can cross the Oude Kale. You will also find a resting bench here.

Oudenaarde owes its fame in historical terms largely to the town hall, one of the most beautiful examples of Brabantine late Gothic in our country. The great value of the building lies in the extremely pure proportions and in the unparalleled monumentality. The iconic town hall of Oudenaarde is just under 500 years old. It is of a delicate beauty, a monument that conquers all hearts. It is charming and rises lively and graceful above the city. It is like a shrine in the middle of the market, surrounded by the hills of the Flemish Ardennes. Victor Hugo once wrote: "in this fantastic building there is not a single detail that is not worth looking at". For many Oudenaarde residents, the town hall is a place of joy and sorrow, of parties, formal receptions and weddings. A place that one certainly passes by at least once in a lifetime. For visitors it is one of the most beautiful town halls in our country, a pearl of late Gothic architecture but above all it is home to the MOU Museum Oudenaarde. In the historical rooms there is always a different atmosphere, you can see the fault line between old and new, there is a surprising story. You will find the Oudenaarde tapestries in the adjacent 14th century cloth hall, under the attic roof a magnificent collection of goldsmith's work, administrative rooms such as the aldermen's hall with the historical and royal portrait gallery, the large reception hall or People's Hall with historical wall paintings, the guardians' room with 18th century archive cabinets, the weighing room or city scales, a chapel with a restoration studio and countless more rooms, each with its own identity.
