There are benches in a few places and these are about the only places where you have a good view of the nature reserve. A bit like a painting in a museum. A beautiful view but you can't get in.

August 12, 2025,Vlaanderenroute 7: Gent – Brugge

Today's tour wasn't as varied. The first part out of the city and along the Ghent-Bruges Canal was very beautiful, so we were a little sad when the route led us inland.
(And yes, we could have skipped that part ;)

Day 3: Ghent - Bruges, approx. 55 km

The first part of the Flanders Route is the Ghent-Ostend canal, which connects the seaports of Ostend and Zeebrugge with Bruges and Ghent. Before Aalter we turn off the canal and enter the Bulskampveld landscape park, on the border between the Bruges Ommeland and the Meetjesland. Pure relaxation in nature! We cycle …

With a boat trip and great impressions, I leave the beautiful city of Ghent and make my way to Bruges. First it goes along the Brugsvaart Canal, later on along the Bruges-Gent Canal⛴️. The route is simply fantastic and leads through a long avenue of trees 🌳🌳. Ships 🛥️ keep passing on the canal next to me. Later I leave …

Today was a slightly shorter stage, just under 60km. We started around 10:30 a.m. in Bruges, then mostly along the Ostend-Ghent Canal – well-maintained, often with many other cycling groups. In between, we also took in some country roads and shady forest paths.
