Saturday, April 19, 2025 by H.V.Beautiful bike ride, right through nature . Also part in Ghent, but through the green outskirts of Gentbrugge and Ledeberg. Very surprised by the combination of nature and housing there. Beautiful parks and lots along the water. Tip : download the route also on your cell phone because signs are not always clear, then it is handy to see the route on your cell phone.
