Cobbles take center stage on the yellow loop, a 102 km ride packed with rugged classics like Huispontweg, Doorn, the iconic Paddestraat, and Kerkgate.

But it’s not just about the stones. Climbs like Wolvenberg, Nokereberg, and the legendary Molenberg are in the mix too, giving your legs plenty to work with along the way.

Hell for some, paradise for others. Deep in the heart of Flanders, some of Belgium’s most iconic and brutal cobbled climbs are packed tightly together. Love them or hate them, if you want to call yourself a true Flandrien, you’ve got to ride them.

This route brings you face to face with the greats—Kapelmuur, Paterberg, and Koppenberg—along with some lesser-known climbs that hold their own. You’ll spend most of the day on narrow, quiet roads built for this kind of ride.

With 196 km and 2,320 meters of climbing, it’s a full-day challenge. Take your time, enjoy the route, and don’t forget to fuel up along the way.

The Berendries loop serves up a solid mix of classic climbs like Wolvenberg, Lagendries, and Leberg, paired with 8 km of cobbles through Haaghoek, Paddestraat, and Ruitersstraat.

Heading out toward Bosberg takes you east, away from the main Flemish Ardennes climbs, but the ride still packs in plenty of highlights. You’ll climb Bosberg early on, then hit the Congoberg soon after. The route reaches its furthest point at Bergstraat before turning back, with another go at the Congoberg. You'll pass through Bever on the way home, and it's worth stopping in at Rijwielen Fides if you can. The final stretch is flat and scenic, following the Dender River all the way into Geraardsbergen. Make a quick stop at Het Brughuis before rolling into the finish.
