F404 Cycle Highway Ghent–Merelbeke (East)

Quick, flat link between Ghent and Merelbeke via the east branch of the F404. Mostly separated bike paths with clear F404 signage and only a few short street sections. Great for commuting, school runs, or a relaxed spin between the city and the green outskirts.

Expect smooth surfaces, safe crossings, and minimal stops where possible. The route plugs into Ghent’s wider bike network and local paths around Merelbeke, so it’s easy to extend your ride or connect to public transport.

Rideable year‑round and fine for any bike, e‑bike included. Follow the F404 signs and watch for any temporary works or detours.
