By bicycle from Kraainem to Wezembeek-Oppem

Ready for a gentle ride between two charming Flemish towns? Leave behind the leafy suburban calm of Kraainem, a peaceful commune right at the edge of Brussels known for its international flavor and spacious parks. Your journey’s just over 8 kilometers—an easy pedal that’s mostly on paved and asphalt surfaces. Hop on quiet roads and smooth cycleways, winding your way through green neighborhoods and patches of countryside.

You’ll take in just a bit of gentle climbing (nothing to worry about—just enough to stretch your legs) before gliding down towards Wezembeek-Oppem. This welcoming town is a favorite with families, full of quiet residential streets and bordered by the Sonian Forest. Most of your route keeps you away from busy traffic, so it’s a relaxing ride—perfect for a bit of light exercise or a weekend exploration. Don’t forget to enjoy the scenery, and maybe grab a pastry at a local bakery once you arrive!
