Eddy Merckxroute Meise

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 by R.H.It’s a very beautiful route, especially in the Greater Meise area. The signage sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. It’s best to follow the junction markers rather than the “Eddy Merckx Route” signs. It’s also advisable to bring your own drinks along the way, because on Sunday, August 16, 2026, even the two restaurants we came across were closed.

Friday, August 7, 2026 by P.M.Lots of bad roads for regular bikes; lots of potholes filled with coarse gravel; not suitable for road bikes; we rode e-bikes; Merckx deserves a much better route,

Monday, September 2, 2024 by G.M.This is a bike route to travel by city bike or mtb. There are narrow trails and gravel. You also ride through forests etc... Still a nice route, but not to do with a racing or recumbent bike. Not even after a firm rain shower. Some roads will be slippery then.

Friday, August 14, 2020 by Nicolas RuytenbeekVery nice route, very pleasant and quiet outside traffic, tough slopes. Highly recommended. I read that this route would not be suitable for cyclists or touring bikes. I disagree. I make it 1-2 times a month with my Trek Domane, I've only gone flat once (too little tire pressure). PB: 1h07'30'' (35.7km).

Thursday, May 10, 2018 by P.D.I rode this route last month and thought the comments about "not suitable for road cyclists" were a bit exaggerated. But unfortunately, I also found that this route is not suitable for a racing bike. It starts very nicely and there are really nice parts to the route, but this is more for a mountain bike anyway. I would not recommend it for people with a race bike.

I also made a video with a short review and images of this route.

Tuesday, May 1, 2018 by S.G.Is this route doable for a recumbent bike please? So I can ni get off my recumbent to continue on foot

Sunday, April 22, 2018 by D.V.This route is only suitable for a family ride certainly not for cycling tourists. I dropped out after the umpteenth bad road I had to take. I even think that only an MTB can finish this ride without a flat. Not worthy of the name Eddy Merckx.

Sunday, November 19, 2017 by V.K.Although the route contains beautiful sections and some tough climbs, this is not a route for road bikes. Several times on narrow roads through fields, unpaved strips,.... Especially when the weather is not so good, this takes away a lot from the cycling experience. Very unfortunate, you would not expect this from a route that bears the name 'Eddy Merckx'.

Thursday, July 28, 2016 by L.L.Beautiful cycling route of our municipal cycling legend E. Merckx. A route of about 38km with an extension (as desired) via the 350 year old Boskapel of Imde. A route where there is something to see but also the spicy calves bite, especially in the first 18km you have to get straight on the pedals a few times, or on foot. If there are any problems you can always let me know. I have the sponsorship of this route and try to keep it up nicely. Good luck
