Gentse Fietsen Route

A nice outing for the family, as a couple, with friends or simply on your own. The Gentse Fietsen Route offers 37 km of cycling fun, with for each his own. Do you want to stick around on one of the spots a bit longer? Don't worry, the route has two shortcuts, which each cut off 9 km.

Quickly grab your bike, or rent one from us, and get to know the favorite hotspots of real Ghentians.
