Quick ride by bicycle from Knokke-Heist to Sluis

Ready for a relaxing ride from Belgium into the Netherlands? This route kicks off in Knokke-Heist, a stylish Belgian seaside town known for its expansive beach, chic shops, and marshy nature reserves. You’ll roll south-eastward, sticking mostly to dedicated cycleways (about 83% of your journey!), which makes the ride gentle and traffic-free—perfect for taking in the scenery.

The path to Sluis is super flat, with barely any climbing, so you can focus on the rural panoramas and maybe spot a few windmills along the way. Surfaces are mostly paved and concrete, so expect a smooth ride (watch out for a couple of sections where the surface is less defined).

As you cross into the Netherlands, you’ll finish in Sluis, a charming fortified town famous for its historic canal, lively cafés, and old city gate. Lock up your bike and enjoy a coffee or some Dutch treats— you’ve officially cycled across an international border!
