Description
A bike ride through Ghent's canal zone may sound like a crazy idea, but this route will convince you otherwise. Experience the contrast between the bustling canal zone and the 'coupling areas', green and nature areas that separate the villages from the industrial areas. You hear alternately heavy transport and cheerful bird twittering. You see not only iron and concrete, but also meadows, ponds, flowers, trees, bushes and parks.

Thursday, April 23, 2026 by Dirk D'HaeyerFor me, it was a real discovery. I passed through places I’d never been before. There are plenty of beautiful stretches along the water and through nature. But I was also really taken with the industrial activity. The route is definitely doable on a regular bike. A mountain bike isn’t necessary, although there are some challenging sections.

Saturday, March 8, 2025 by Jan HolvoetWonderful, and surprising route. From industry to countryside. Beautiful route. Unpaved sections are perfectly doable. No need to be a mountain biker.
