Eddy Merckx route

Cycling legend Eddy Merckx won in Ruien (Kluisbergen) on September 17, 1977 the last of his 525 races. This route takes you past the place where the “Cannibal” triumphed last.The circuit is very much a Tour of Flanders experience that includes climbs up the Oude Kwaremont, Paterberg, Kluisberg and Hotondberg. And then we fly down the Rampe. You can enjoy a ride through the beautiful countryside and take in the stunning views. Have a look round the lovely Kluisbos forest and its Recreation Centre, pop in and visit an artist in Kwaremont and soak up the rural tranquillity in Zulzeke. According to us this is the perfect route to shake off your jetlag before you start the serious work in the Flemish Ardennes.
