Do you dare to embark on the ultimate road cycling experience between the Flemish Ardennes and West Flanders? This loop is perfect for those who enjoy variety: challenging sections with climbs and notorious cobblestone sections alternate with leisurely lanes. Don't forget to stop at a cozy café terrace to refill your water bottle or enjoy a coffee.

Soon after the start, you'll cycle over a short cobblestone climb and continue on to the picturesque town of Mullem. With its yellow village houses, Romanesque church, and rectory, Mullem remains a picturesque sight.

After this, you'll follow rolling roads through nature and various villages, taking you via Kattenberg and Wolvenberg to Oudenaarde, the cycling capital of Flanders. The Oude Markt offers a wide selection of terraces.

With 84 km already under your belt, a break is well deserved. But you're not there yet, as there are still a few challenging climbs to come. After 120 km through picturesque countryside, you'll finally return to Kruishoutem.

If you'd like to travel by train, we recommend traveling to Oudenaarde station and starting the route from there.
