Cannibal Routes

Which cyclist was Eddy Merckx thinking of when, as a little Cannibal, he whizzed along the cycling roads of his native region? Was he already dreaming then of the historic victories that would follow?

For future Flandriens!

Today, aspiring young cycling heroes imagine themselves to be Remco Evenepoel, Thibau Nys or Jasper Stuyven. Crawl in their wheel over the undulations of the Pajottenland, the cobblestones of the Brabantse Pijl or the hills of the Hageland. The Kleine Kannibaal routes visit iconic cycling spots, just like the great cycling routes through Flemish Brabant, but shorter and along extra safe roads.
Tailor-made for our future cycling gods, but tough enough to make moms and dads yearn for the next pit stop! Fortunately, you'll find plenty of stops along each route to prevent a hunger pang. And that can include ice cream, right?
