Hell for some, paradise for others. Deep in the heart of Flanders, some of Belgium’s most iconic and brutal cobbled climbs are packed tightly together. Love them or hate them, if you want to call yourself a true Flandrien, you’ve got to ride them.
This route brings you face to face with the greats—Kapelmuur, Paterberg, and Koppenberg—along with some lesser-known climbs that hold their own. You’ll spend most of the day on narrow, quiet roads built for this kind of ride.
With 196 km and 2,320 meters of climbing, it’s a full-day challenge. Take your time, enjoy the route, and don’t forget to fuel up along the way.
