Cycling Dunkerque to Brussels - Does anyone have any tips?

Hello,

I am doing my first cycle tour during late July/early August, and I am looking to do Dunkirk to Brussels. However, as I don't have much experience in the area around Bruges, Antwerp etc. I was wondering if anyone could give any tips and look at the route I have proposed.

I will be sleeping in hotels, and hopefully stopping in cafes along the way.

If anyone has had experience with these hotels please let me know:

Are country roads around Flanders usually quiet? Or is there lots of truck traffic?

Here is the route from Dunkirk, Bruges, Antwerp to Brussels:

Thanks in advance :D
Cycling from Dunkirk to Brussels doesn’t bring you to Bruges or Antwerp, unless you want to.
I would advise to use Brouter and use ‘stick to cycle routes.
Can’t go wrong

Roads used by cars in Flanders to go from one place to another are usually crowded by traffic and in many cases quite dangerous. That's the reason why the Belgians invented the 'knooppuntensysteem' and there are plenty of online cycling tour planning websites leading you to better cycling possibilities on small roads, paved former train tracks and along canals.
