Cycle Flanders Fields
Cycle Flanders Fields – Ride through the heart of history
Start your ride in Nieuwpoort and explore the powerful landscapes of Flanders Fields. You'll cycle through peaceful polders, along historic waterways, and across routes that once formed the front lines of World War I.
Depending on your chosen distance – 45 km, 90 km, or 180 km – you'll pass through historic towns like Diksmuide and Veurne, with the longest route leading you to iconic sites such as Tyne Cot Cemetery, the Menin Gate in Ypres, the plugstreets of Gent-Wevelgem, and the rolling hills of Heuvelland.
Cycle Flanders Fields is more than a bike ride. It’s an unforgettable journey through nature, heritage, and emotion.
Please note: This is a non-competitive tour ride. There is no official timing.
We are currently exploring the option of adding one or more timed segments, pending official approval.
