Countrywide Cycle Routes

Countrywide Cycle Routes (LF routes)
LF routes take you past the loveliest spots in Flanders. They lead you through colourful landscapes and link together such great cities of art as Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Leuven and Brussels.

The following LF routes pass through Ghent:
LF5 (Flanders Cycle Route) goes from Bruges to Thorn (NL)
LF30 (Scheldt-Delta Route) goes from Kruiningen (NL) to Oudenaarde

The Flemish LF routes link up with the Dutch network.

Cycle route junctions

East Flanders’ recreational cycle network leads you around all the province’s loveliest spots. The principal elements are safety, cycling comfort and riding on paths reserved for cyclists. The East Flanders Tourist Office has selected the safest and most attractive cycle routes, put them on a map and transformed them into a coherent network. When two or more selected routes cross they form a junction. Each junction is given a number, and these numbers can be found on our map. Each network joins up seamlessly with the next, even across provincial boundaries and national borders. We have also recently introduced thematic trips on the cycle network. They are circular routes on a particular theme such as nature or art. Four of the five East Flanders cycle route junctions are in Ghent. You can use the ‘Gent en omgeving’ (Ghent and surroundings) junction plan to mark out your own route.

Bicycle Rental

You can also rent a bicycle to explore the city. More information is available under Bicycle Rental.
