Sunday, March 22, 2026 by Martine VannevelIt's terrible—only 60% of the junctions are correct. For example, junction 2 is supposed to lead to junction 6, but junction 6 isn't there either; at junction 4, we were supposed to find junction 31, but it wasn't marked. So we had to abandon the bike route... not fun!!!

Tuesday, September 30, 2025 by P.D.We did the route today from in melle. From junction 52 to 4 could not be found and neither could 31, so we had to return along the ring canal which is not very pleasant and we had more than 50 km on the counter. Nice start though from Melle

Friday, May 30, 2025 by M.V.Ridden 30/05/2025 , parked along water sports course to then take the route between 52 and 4 but the junction points 4-31-5 are difficult ...too much traffic and especially pedestrians crisscrossing each other , after that it is quiet and surprisingly green . recommended to use gps because signs are sometimes on the right then on the left

Tuesday, September 14, 2021 by H.L.Very nice route variety of water city and green but in Melle you have to go from nr22 to nr16 but nr17 is also in between so from 22 to 17 and then to16 this is not mentioned on the route

Friday, July 17, 2020 by K.D.Very nice bike route. Surprising how much green there is in the vicinity of Ghent. Especially the stretch of cycling in the Gentbrugse Meersen was very pleasant. Also in Ghent this cycling tour brought us to unknown places! Unfortunately in Ghent the directions were not always found. The road works between 16 and 1 meant that we ended up cycling 44 km.
