Quick ride by bicycle from Wezembeek-Oppem to Kraainem

Starting your ride in the leafy suburbs of Wezembeek-Oppem, you’ll enjoy the peaceful, village-like vibe that this area is known for, nestled on the outskirts of Brussels. The route is a relaxed spin—just about 4.5 km—making it perfect for an easy outing or a leisurely commute.

You’ll mostly roll along quiet roads with the occasional gravel or unpaved stretch, so wider tires will be a bonus, but road bikes will manage fine. There's just a touch of uphill (a gentle 20-meter climb in total) and a bit more going down, which you’ll barely notice amid the green scenery. The route is 75% on less-defined surfaces and 77% on quiet roads, so expect plenty of tranquility and hardly any car traffic.

Your ride finishes in Kraainem, another charming, bilingual commune just northeast of Brussels. It’s a lovely place to explore, with old farmhouses and cozy cafés. If you have time, stroll around the area or grab a terrace seat for a coffee before heading back!
