Bicycle Loops in Flanders (Belgium)

[Fietslogies]

In my last post, I bumped with the 10.000 characters limit for postings on CycleChat, so I had to skip some tours. So here's a new post with cycle loops, now covering the whole of Flanders. As always in Dutch but entirely signposted on the road and making use of our famous cycle node network (Knooppunten) that you can check at http://www.fietsnet.be/routeplanner/default.aspx
Grinta presents for every flemish province 5 different roadbooks with loops from 60 to 110 km.

Province of Antwerp (Antwerpen, Mechelen, Lier, Westmalle, Kasterlee, Herentals, Kempen, Kalmthoutse Heide, ...)

See you.

Once again, thank you for that
I would like to combine some of those routes at sometime in the future with a camping tour.
Whilst touring Holland last year we used http://www.natuurkampeerterreinen.nl/ camp sites and really liked the car free, small, friendly sites. I have also heard that Mini-camping sites are also nice.
Do you know of anything similar in Belgium?

 

[Fietslogies]

I do not think we have in Belgium a similar camping website. The ECEAT (European Center for Ecological and Agricultural Tourism) http://www.groenevakantiegids.nl/ seems to go a bit in that direction and presents for the whole of Europe 1000 green camping sites, ecological b&b's, green farms with lodging opportunities, ... There are a few accommodations in Belgium.
