Description by the author

The tour as described starts at the Aanwijs in the Bulskampveld where there is a spacious parking lot.

Via the Vagevuurbossen we cycle to the center of Ruiselede. Furthermore, De Naelde may already be a good stopover in the country, but a little further we reach Kanegem , where Briek Schotte was born and raised.

We cycle through Aarsele, and along the Meikesbossen we reach the Poelberg with its beautiful mill and the much-visited Lourdes cave.

We drive through the center of Tielt to Sliderskapelle to return to our starting point via the Gulke wells and the Radio in the Sint-Pietersveld with its many sights via the Vorsevijvers and Hertsberge .
