The cycling routes around Blankenberge run along the coast and through the polders, for example to the Hubert Mill in Wenduine, a wooden corn mill dating from 1880.
Along the coast: the international North Sea Cycle Route (EuroVelo 12) takes you west to Wenduine and De Haan and east to Knokke-Heist.
Through the polder: behind the resort you ride along quiet roads through the Uitkerkse Polder, with ditches, cattle ponds and meadow birds.
To Bruges: following the cycle junctions of West Flanders, you cross the polder landscape to Bruges.
Plan your own: with the junction network you can combine coast and countryside into a loop that suits you.
