F5 Antwerpen–Hasselt (noordzijde Albertkanaal)

A collection of 5 cycling routes.

Overview

About this collection

The F5 follows the north side of the Albert Canal from Antwerp to Hasselt: long, straight sections, almost entirely paved and virtually flat. Ideal for quick commute trips or a long day ride without many detours. You mainly ride on separated bike paths and quiet service roads along the water, with few crossings. Be careful at bridges and lock complexes: it can be busier there and sometimes you briefly share the road.
