Meetjesland

Detail

Ride Through the Quiet Soul of Meetjesland — a full-day Vespa experience through the serene and often-overlooked landscapes of northern East Flanders. This region is a hidden gem—flat, forested, and full of folklore. Designed for peaceful adventurers, nature lovers, and romantic wanderers, the route reveals a land of winding canals, historic abbeys, sleepy farm villages, and endless green.

Begin your journey in Eeklo or St. Laureins and cruise along canal-side paths, pass windmills, and discover forgotten castles. Ride through nature reserves like Het Leen and Drongengoedbos, where birdsong and stillness dominate the air. Along the way, you’ll find charming cafes, local cheese farms, and wide-open spaces where time seems to slow down.

This route isn’t about rushing—it’s about breathing deep, soaking up stillness, and falling in love with a quiet, authentic side of Flanders.
