The Borinage is inextricably linked to a prestigious industrial past that created a lot of wealth in Europe. A number of small railway lines were built to transport both labor and coal. These lines have now been transformed into beautiful RAVeL routes.

These four routes of the RAVeL of the Borinage (Lines 98,98A, 98B and 98C) will take you into different atmospheres in no time. You drive from a heavily urbanized and industrial region to wooded zones and agricultural areas. You will be amazed! On the one hand you cycle between the coal slag heaps, but you also visit cultural places that were visited by Van Gogh and Verhaeren. In short, a bike tour full of surprises!

Adventurers can also cycle on the short Line 98B, between Warquignies and Boussu.

We propose 3 stages, which are not connected to each other, but can be combined:

Line 98, the Borinage hills, between Cuesmes and Quiévrain
Line 98A, the RAVeL of the 'Hauts-Pays', between Dour and Onnezies.
Line 98C, between Frameries and Hornu.
