By bicycle from Ghent to Evergem

Ready for a relaxing ride? Start your journey in the lively city of Ghent, a hub of history, canals, and seriously good coffee. Heading north, your route to Evergem is a friendly 8.4 km—short enough for a quick spin, but with enough variety to keep things interesting.

You'll mainly roll along quiet roads and designated cycleways, perfect for conversations or solo cruising. Most of the path is paved (think smooth asphalt or concrete), so skinny tires will do just fine. The ride is nearly flat, so no need to fear the burn—just a gentle ascent and descent.

Arriving in Evergem, you'll find a peaceful village atmosphere, worlds away from the city’s buzz. It’s a great spot for a breather by the canal or to explore some local bakeries. Whether you’re commuting or just adventuring, this route is a sweet reminder of how close city life and tranquil countryside really are around Ghent. Happy cycling!
