Relaxed Bikepacking from city to city

Saddle Stories

Angelika and Reinhard brought their bicycles with them on the train from Salzburg to Brussels* for a relaxed bikepacking adventure in which they combined the iconic cycle routes with two of the Flanders’ Finest cycle routes. From Brussels, they cycled via the Art Cities Route first to Leuven, from where, the following day, they explored the Hageland via the Horst Route. The day after, they journeyed further on the Art Cities Route to Mechelen, and the following day, they got to know some of the area nearby by cycling to Boom and back on the Mechelen-Boom circuit. From Mechelen, they returned with their bikes by train to Brussels.

*: In this video clip, Saddle Stories reveals how they travelled with their bikes on the night train from Salzburg to Brussels.

This cycling adventure nicely illustrates how the iconic cycle routes can be combined with local cycle loops - such as Flanders’ Finest. As well as how you can use the Art Cities Route to travel sustainably and leisurely from Art City to Art City, taking the time to sightsee and to enjoy a beer tasting or a cup of coffee along the way.
