Trek through the Flemish Ardennes

Five B&Bs in the Flemish Ardennes have solved a complicated problem that lovers of the landscape around Flanders’ Finest invariably face. After a hike or bike ride, they really want more! So from now on, the five offer a five-day hiking and cycling concept whereby your luggage is transported to the next B&B each day. All you have to do is enjoy the trek and the wonderful accommodations. A great solution!

Everything is arranged for you

It is wonderful to arrive at a charming B&B after a day of hiking or cycling. Your luggage is in your room; you can freshen up immediately and then enjoy a delicious meal. Perhaps you would like to have a chat afterwards with a regional beer. Or would you rather swim a few lengths in the pool or relax your muscles in the hot tub or sauna?

After a good night’s sleep, a hearty breakfast awaits you. Then you put on your footwear again, collect your packed lunch from the B&B owner, and you are off for another day in the Flemish Ardennes.

How does it work?

You can use the With Five in Bed arrangement as an individual or with one, two or three other travel companions. After registering on the website, you will be contacted by the B&B where your trek will start.

The five participating B&Bs decide this among themselves, depending on their occupancy. You will sleep in all the locations as the trek is a (whimsical) circle that can be hiked or cycled in either clockwise or anticlockwise direction.

Are you coming to the starting point by car? Then it stays there. This is also where your tour ends, after your fifth night.

What is the trip like?

Your start B&B will give you all the practical information, including a map with hiking or cycling routes that lead you to your next accommodation. You can follow the route live via the app routeyou.com, which can be downloaded for free from the Play Store (Android) or the App Store (Apple).

Once you have registered, you’ll receive all the information you need to start daydreaming or preparing. You choose the distance. Each stage is about 15 or 25 km long, depending on whether you want to walk or hike. The cycling stages are 40 or 60 km long.
