F41 Cycle Highway: Zelzate–Antwerp

A fast, mostly straight link between Zelzate and Antwerp, signposted as F41. It strings together long, smooth cycleways and quiet roads, with just a few short bits on gravel or tracks. The route is basically flat, so it’s easy to keep a steady pace.

You’ll roll across the Waasland and skirt parts of the port as you approach Antwerp. Wayfinding is simple—follow the F41 signs—but watch for a couple of busy crossings near industrial areas. It works great for commuting, training spins, or a relaxed day ride between the two cities.

There are shops and cafés in towns along the way, and once in Antwerp you can hook into other Flemish cycle highways. Pack lights for dull weather and a windproof layer for the open sections.
