Description
You will explore the valley of the Kreke Brook, which with the Handzame Valley forms an eastern spur of the Iron Basin. Three geographical regions meet here: the polders, the sandy region and the sandy loam region. You cycle through the Bethoosterse Broeken to Koekelare. On the border with the Houtland, you are at the highest point of the northern line of hills. You descend to Kortemark and continue to Werken. Via Houthulst and Klerken you return to Diksmuide.
With thanks to Westtoer.

Wednesday, April 14, 2021 by M.Q.A nice bike route cycled this route several times already,but when the market in Diksmuide was reconstructed the signs were not put back correctly.This has been passed on several times.Too bad,we are from the region and know the way but for those people who do not know the way it is confusing.Also some signs are in need of replacement.

Friday, November 13, 2020 by Paul Desplenterridden the route , however in Diksmuide a sign not found , too bad, is already in the review of 2018 , after long search have missed about 10km .For the rest very nice and pleasant route .In Koekelare a tough uphill but is doable. Hopefully the sign in Diksmuide, just past the market will be put back.

Sunday, June 30, 2019 by Kathleen Van AsscheVery nice quiet route. When leaving the market Diksmuide turn left and then over the little bridge to the right until intersection and then straight on. Sign is not well marked.
Occasionally a sign that is not easy to read (color a bit faded), but otherwise all signs are very well marked. Very quiet lanes through the fields. Definitely a route to cycle again.

Sunday, June 26, 2016 by M.C.Beautiful route, both with regular bike and with race bike (except for 250m road gel through park in Koekelaere), 120 altitude meters, very varied. Ideal starting point in Kortemark - turning point halfway is then Diksmuide.
