F418 Cycle Route: Zottegem–Geraardsbergen (proposed)

F418 Cycle Route: Zottegem–Geraardsbergen (proposed)

A collection of 4 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

A future fast link between Zottegem and Geraardsbergen, right in the Flemish Ardennes. This is a proposed F-route, so expect a work‑in‑progress: patchy wayfinding, mixed surfaces, and a few short on‑road stretches. It aims to be a direct commuter route between two rail towns—easy to combine with the train at either end.

Terrain here isn’t flat, but it’s friendly rolling rather than epic. You’re riding through classic cycling country: Geraardsbergen is home to the Kapelmuur, and the Dender valley sits nearby. Even if the F418 won’t chase the steep cobbles, the vibe is all there.

Good to know:

  • Some segments may still be undefined or under construction; detours happen.
  • Mostly paved, with occasional rougher bits—28–32 mm tires are perfect.
  • Short busy-road sections are possible; bring lights and ride visibly.

Keep an eye on local updates as the route evolves. If you’re after a practical town‑to‑town ride with a dash of Belgian cycling heritage, this one’s worth tracking.
