Overview
At once medieval and modern, northern Belgium and southern Netherlands lay claim to more than 7,500 navigable kilometers of waterways that, when traveled by barge and bike, showcase a rich history of ingenuity, trade, medieval architecture and political power. The region is a cyclists’ delight, with gentle terrain, quiet roads and tree-lined paths along serene canals that were built over the centuries to increase trade, shorten routes between major cities, unify former kingdoms, and manage flooding caused by surging seas. From medieval Bruges – one of the most important trading centers in the 13th century, to Ghent and Antwerp, Gouda and finally Amsterdam, this bike and barge journey explores world-famous cities and villages whose growth and development are intricately tied to water.Highlights
