Tips from the Community
Proof that off-road riding in the Flemish Ardennes doesn't always mean deep mud or rough cobblestones. This magnificent gravel section of Sint-Christianastraat offers a smooth, compact stone track that rolls fantastically. Lined by a dense forest edge on the left and a row of characteristic poplars on the right, you can enjoy pure tranquility here. Ideal for gravel bikers and trail runners to pick up speed on the ridge of Dikkelvenne.

A short cobbled climb. The cobblestones are in decent condition, the paved strip on the edges of the road are sadly not really usable to avoid the cobbles.

The part along the hedge of the castle park is quite challenging. A narrow overgrown path with many unevennesses.
