Description by the author

Perhaps Ninove does not capture the imagination when it comes to beautiful landscapes. However, this route sets that right again. The route takes you through the Dender Valley, to the hills of the Scheldt-Dender interfluve, and into the beautiful Pajottenland.

An absolute insider tip.
