Go Local - Bike Like A Local

OVERVIEW

Bicycle the flat, tree-lined path that connects Bruges to the tiny village of Damme, taking in the serenity of the countryside among locals who will probably be biking, too. You will follow a tree-lined canal all the way to Damme, a straight route with a bicycle path on one side of the waterway and a road on the other. Not having to contend with vehicular traffic will make the trip all the more relaxing and carefree. The terrain is completely flat and easy to pedal with minimal effort, allowing you to concentrate on the sights. The bucolic scenery is so wonderfully peaceful, it could well be the inspiration for a Flemish landscape painting. Along the way, you will pass charming cottages, iconic windmills and small boats inching along the waterway. Chances are, you will be riding among locals, as bicycling between Bruges and Damme is a popular way that locals get away from the urban hustle and bustle.
