A bike ride through Ghent's canal zone may sound like a crazy idea, but this route will convince you otherwise. Experience the contrast between the bustling canal zone and the 'coupling areas', green and nature areas that separate the villages from the industrial areas. You hear alternately heavy transport and cheerful bird twittering. You see not only iron and concrete, but also meadows, ponds, flowers, trees, bushes and parks.
