Have you ever tried mountain biking in the Flemish Ardennes? This low mountain range has everything for a challenging but enjoyable ride, with forests, rough terrain and steep hills making it a favourite with mountains bikers all over Europe. There are over 100 different routes to choose from with difficult climbs and rocky descents with something for all skill levels. Mountain biking is popular here and Leopold Hotel Oudenaarde offers perfect accommodation for bikers no matter where you\u2019re travelling from. Here are some of our favourite mountain bike trails in Oudenaarde and Flanders.<\/p>

Flandrien Circuit<\/h2>

Did you know that this very special route in Flanders was selected as the route for the 100th UCI Road World Championships in 2021? At just 65mk long, it may not seem extremely challenging to a professional cyclist, but you\u2019ll be challenged with steep climbs and steeper downhills. Challenge yourself with slopes like the Moskesstraat in Terlanen, the Smeysberg in Huldenberg, The Bekestraat in Eizer and the S-bend in Overijse. It\u2019s a tough circuit and you\u2019ll be delighted to stop at one of the cycling cafes along the way.<\/p>

Ronde Van Vlaanderen \u2013 Blue Loop<\/h2>

The blue loop is the shortest of three mapped routes from the Centrum Ronde Van Vlaanderen but that certainly doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s easy. Prepare yourself for a tough day of cycling around the Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg and Koppenberg. If you have the legs, carry on to the Taaienberg, Kruisberg and Hotondberg before returning to Leopold Hotel Oudenaarde to unwind and recover. You can enjoy the beautiful Flemish countryside with its flowing fields, forested hills, and cobbled roads. It\u2019s a rewarding route and we promise it will make you appreciate flat roads so much more in the future!<\/p>

Ronde Van Vlaanderen \u2013 Yellow Loop<\/h2>

The yellow route is a great middle of the road route for experienced cyclists looking for a challenge. The main challenge of the 102km trail are the cobblestone roads which are mostly uphill. You\u2019ll be challenged by roads such as Huispontweg, Doorn, the famous Paddestraat and Kerkgate. The cobbles are not the only challenge. You\u2019ll need legs of steel to get across hills like Wolvenberg and Nokereberg. Start this route at the Center Tour of Flanders, where all three routes begin and end. The yellow loop takes you to places in the Flemish Ardennes where you would otherwise never come. It\u2019s worth the trip for that alone.<\/p>

Ronde Van Vlaanderen \u2013 Red Loop<\/h2>

For a longer and more scenic route, try the red loop in Oudenaarde. This route is 116km and will bring you through the beautiful Flemish Ardennes all the way to Geraardsbergen. It\u2019s not a walk in the park, however. The route is largely made up of cobblestone trails and you\u2019ll face steep climbs like Foreest, the Berendries, the Bosberg and the Eikenberg. It has an impressive 1600 metres of climbing and takes an experienced cyclist with a high level of fitness. Leopold Hotel Oudenaarde is an ideal base to prepare or recover from this epic cycle.<\/p>

Eddy Merckx Route<\/h2>

Any lover of Belgian cycling will have heard of the legendary Eddy Merckx, the \u2018Cannibal\u2019. On September 17th, 1977, Eddy won the last of his 525 races in Ruien (Kluisbergen) and afterward, this route was unofficially named after him. The circuit is a tour of Flanders which includes climbs up the Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg, Kluisberg and Hotondberg and exciting downhill rides like the Rampe. You\u2019ll enjoy the gorgeous countryside, the Kluisbos forest and its recreation centre and the rural tranquillity in Zulzeke. At just 56km, it\u2019s often used as a sightseeing route or a warmup for professionals before they start the serious work of the Flemish Ardennes.<\/p>

Leopold Hotel Oudenaarde offers solos, couples, and groups a perfect base to stay when exploring the Flemish Ardennes and Oudenaarde on two wheels. Our comfortable, spacious bedrooms are ideal to prepare yourself for a long day of cycling or to recover after a tough ride.
