Want to use the cycle nodes?

You can also discover most of the Flanders’ Finest Cycle Routes via the existing cycle node network.

That’s because the Flanders’ Finest Cycle Routes have been collected into a network. Where two or more routes intersect, this is called a node. These nodes are all indicated by a numbered sign on the side of the road. By following the right signs, you stay on track.
