What are the most spectacular roads in Belgium?

Located in the western part of Europe, Belgium is a country covering an area of 30,528 square kilometers that shares borders with 4 countries: France, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Divided into three regions: Flanders, Wallonia and Brussels, and without big mountains, the country is a paradise for bicycles and it hosts many iconic roads to ride on two wheels, as the brutal Mur de Huy. It’s one of the Most Iconic Cycling Climbs in Belgium, and one of the steepest, toughest and most spectacular finishing climbs in professional cycling.

It’s also worth driving the Muur van Geraardsbergen, one of the most iconic roads for cyclists, in the hilly southern part of East Flanders.

Located in Huy, in the country's Walloon Region and Province of Liege of Belgium, Mur de Huy (Wall of Huy) is one of the steepest, toughest and most spectacular finishing climbs in professional cycling.

Muur van Geraardsbergen, also known as the Wall of Geraardsbergen, is an iconic climb located in the western part of Belgium.

Located in the Hautes Fagnes (High Fens) region, within the Ardennes, in the province of Liège, Signal de Botrange is the highest point in Belgium, at an elevation of 694 meters (2,277 ft) above sea level.

Rue de Tintange is a very scenic drive through the mountains, located in southern Belgium’s Wallonia region. This must-drive road runs along the Sauer (or Sûre) river.

Located in the Flemish province of East Flanders, close to the border of the Netherlands, Doel is an abandoned Ghost Town not far from Antwerp, a Belgian port that has swallowed up many similar small towns as it has grown over the years.

Vaalserberg is a mountain peak at an elevation of 322.7m (1,059ft) above sea level, located on the tripoint between Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands.

It’s just over 600 meters, but they contain all the toughness that haunts the nightmares of professional cyclists: 20% gradients and slippery cobblestones, which often force even the most renowned pros to dismount—just like Eddy Merckx did back in the day. Welcome to Koppenberg, the impossible climb of the Tour of Flanders. This hill, located on the outskirts of the city of Melden in the Belgian Ardennes, is the crown jewel of the Tour of Flanders. Though modest in elevation, it plays a disproportionately large role in shaping the outcome of the race.
