From the Houtland to the Polders and the Westhoek

Description

With this route, we felt like we were cycling through many different regions.

We started from the castle of Wijnendale. At the beginning of our journey, we went slightly uphill along the Ruidenberg and the Koekelareberg. The result was a beautiful view around the municipality of Ichtegem.

On the way, we passed by the Lange Max Museum. We rode through the center of Eernegem, along the border municipalities of Oudenburg. After that, we mainly cycled through the polders, over the dikes: the Bourgognepad and along gravel paths between the fields where we could see very far.

On the way to Keiem, we saw the Yser Tower in the distance and passed in Keiem the chicken museum, worth a visit with children, and a cheese farm. We rode through Vladslo, which reminds me of the annual flea market in mid-September, also worth a visit!

We ended with a very small climb along the Ruidenberg, the horse meadows in Markhove, and a gravel path towards Wijnendale.
