You have two different cycle networks: - the long distance network: LF-routes, the national long distance cycling routes in Belgium, signposted in both directions, are a network of cycling routes through Belgium, all identified by a name and number, the suffixes a or b indicating the direction of the route. This network connects the most important cities in Belgium, like Brussels, Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, ... - the cycle node network The ‘nodes’ (‘knooppunten’) are the points where these cycling paths intersect. Each node in the network is numbered. You can use these nodes to map out a cycling itinerary. You decide for yourself how long you want the trip to be and where you want to go. On each cycle trail you have a free gpx track. For all information about the cycle networks : http://www.fietsroute.org/indexuk.php |

A northern variant along others canals is about 55 km. Both are put together in this loop tour: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=670865 with a lot of illustrations of the sights along the waterside. If you want the cue sheet, then visit http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Cycling-from-Ghent-to-Bruges-and-back-95-towpaths too! Between Ghent and Brussels, the landscape becomes a little bit more hilly and there's not really a straight an ideal line to follow. Use the 'knooppunten' mentioned by the OP or combine a few parts of the following tracks: http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Ghent-Dendermonde-Antwerp-Gand-Termonde-Anvers-Gent-Dendermonde- http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Leuven-Mechelen-Boom-Temse-Waasmunster-Lokeren-Moerbeke-Evergem- http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Bruxelles-Brussel-Charleroi-Thuin-Maubeuge-Fourmies-Hirson-Guise http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Aalst-Opwijk-Londerzeel-Leireken-old-railway-track For more: http://www.bikely.com/listpaths/by/fietslogies |
