Icon description route Description

With this route, I want to traverse the Land of Mortagne. A region I know because of the many beautiful walks I made there via the walking nodes website.

A gently rolling landscape, beautiful views, with many church paths, old square farms, occasionally a forest, and the Scheldt.

From Gullegem, I ride along beautiful paths to Kortrijk. Through the beautiful villa neighborhoods in Kortrijk and the nice bike path along the hospital, I arrive in Bellegem after a first climb.

After a descent, I arrive in Dottignies with its beautiful Ronceval domain. There, I ride onto the Trimaarzate (old railway line) heading towards Avelgem.

In Helkijn, I exit and ride to the Scheldt. I follow it past the crossing of the Scheldt with the Bossuit-Kortrijk canal.

Along Outrijve, a piece of Trimaarzate, I end up on the Guldensporenpad, a car-free path from Kortrijk. A bit further, I pass another section along the Land of Stijn Streuvels, Ingooigem and Vichte. Beautiful route!
