Quick ride 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.
