Icon description route Description

I started from Dranouter, known for its folk festival and located in the beautiful Heuvelland.

To avoid having to climb too much and to visit a less known region, I drove towards France. After descending, I quickly arrived in Beaulieu.

I continue through very quiet, unknown municipalities, with little hospitality and many farmlands along the way. In the distance, you can see the Flemish and French hills.

At the farthest point, I pass through the Forest of Nieppe, a very old forest. Emperor Charles V was still involved in managing the forest in 1519. On the way back, I pass through a picturesque village, Steenwerck, with its church with Byzantine influences and yet one cozy terrace.

I enter Belgium via Nieuwkerke. There, I can enjoy a beautiful view from a hill where I can see Lille, Armentières, the various hills, and so on.

From Nieuwkerke, I cycle back to Dranouter and think: I'll come back to cycle through Heuvelland itself...
