Ghent to Bruges by bike along the canal

53.6 km

This route links Flanders' two great historic cities almost entirely on towpaths and cycle paths. From the Korenlei it leaves Ghent for Lovendegem and Hansbeke, then follows the water through Beernem to Sint-Kruis and the centre of Bruges.

It's completely flat, but the open canal can be windy. The train back to Ghent is quick; your bike needs its own ticket.
