Road cycling

You won't be spared from altitude on the blue loop of the Tour of Flanders either. You start at the Markt in Oudenaarde, where you cycle the towpath along the Scheldt. Flat and comfortable cycling, but the Oude Kwaremont quickly changes that. The mythical cobblestone slope is a section that cyclists struggle to overcome every year in the Tour.

In Kwaremont itself you cycle through the Ronde Van Vlaanderenstraat, an ode to Flanders' Finest. Take it easy here, because there are still some tough climbs waiting for you a little further on: the Paterberg, the Koppenberg and the Taaienberg.

Along the way you can stop at the Hotondmolen, where you can recover on the terrace while enjoying the picturesque view. Then you return to Oudenaarde, but not before you cycle through the beautiful Kluisbos and the village centre of Kluisbergen.

A nice place to stay.
Terrace is very inviting to have conversations at a higher level.
(You are 150 meters above sea level)
Restaurant is recommended...
The beautiful menu becomes reality on your plate and will satisfy your taste buds. Wash everything down with a local beer or a refined wine.
It doesn't have to be more...

For friends of well-groomed cobblestones: Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg and Koppenberg in one! It is worth it!

The Tour of Flanders is to the Belgians what King's Day is to the Dutch. Every village around the Tour of Flanders route is colorfully decorated with Flemish flags, banners and large TV screens. We visited this Flemish folk festival. First to experience the brutal climbs for yourself, then to see how the pros fared.

Today we did a little bit of the Ronde. Taking on 4 of the classic cobbled climbs. To pedal in the wheels of the pros took my respect for them to a whole new level. Once again Belgium has provided some amazing routes to ride.
5th day of the Tour of Flanders by bike. Finally unloaded with luggage, but very full of desire to travel the roads and walls that have made the history of cycling. And finally a ride and not a straight line, which gives that particular pleasure of returning home, of returning to the starting point.
The route is one of those …
