Brussels → Geraardsbergen
Brussels Muur Brussels
A hundred kilometres from the capital to the chapel on top of the Muur van Geraardsbergen, with the Bosberg on the way.
My first ride in Belgium went from Brussels to the Muur van Geraardsbergen. That was twenty years ago. Since then I have tried every farm road, cowpath and stretch of pavé between the two, and kept only the best of them. I still ride it almost every week.
The route links small Flemish villages on quiet tarmac, crosses sections of cobbles from the early season classics and ends on the Wall itself. It tests your legs and pays homage to the races that made these roads famous.
I ride alongside you the whole way. As long as our lungs allow it, you get the stories of the roads, the races and the riders who suffered on them.
The climbs
| Climb | Length | Max | Surface |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muur van Geraardsbergen (Kapelmuur) | about 1.1 km | 20% | cobbles |
| Bosberg | about 1 km | 12% | cobbles |
The Muur was the decisive climb of the Tour of Flanders for decades, with the Bosberg as the last hill before the finish. You ride both, plus the small bergs of the Pajottenland in between.
Some riders know this ride as the Brussels to Flanders 100 km road cycling tour. Same ride, same guide, and booking here goes straight to Kardama.

“Despite the biting chill, time flew by and the 100km was over in a flash! … I was most hesitant to sign up for this cycling tour due to our lack of experience with cobbles but Karl-Heinz gives you tips and tricks on the best way to ‘attack’ them. … Climbing the [Muur] was lots of fun as well!”
“A true way to experience the country is on a bike. Karl’s energy is magnetic and his passion for cycling and love of the region was clear throughout. Miles/challenge wise, it was a good mix of flats, cobble, and fun climbs. The experience exceed expectation!”
