Bikepacking Belgium: 1500km along the border | Belgische Frontière DAY 1

I'll cycle the total of 1500km around Belgium. My only rule: following the border as close as possible. In the need of an adventure I left as a solo cycling woman to ride around my home country.

Exploring Belgium is very important to me because we're living in such a small country that most of us decide to leave on their holidays. I planned my holidays in Belgium. This is the first episode from my new series

Отличное видео. Посмотрел с удовольствием. Спасибо

Thank you so much for your kind words! Hope you'll like the upcoming videos too 😍

[@bikepackingandbicycletouring]

This is a great video; and a great idea. This could become a real craze/social media sensation: cycling the borders of a country... how about doing that in each European country? In India? Brazil? China? Phew, so many possibilities, so much cycling. I feel tired just thinking about it.

[@ClaraFrancken]

Oh thank you so much for sharing your thoughts ❤️ ❤️ that does indeed sound so interesting for many many countries!!!+

[@ClaraFrancken]

thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I'm so happy you like this one :) lot's of more to come about the Belgian border 😍

[@StepsbyKaatje]

Good luck on your trip! I cycled last year from my home in Belgium to Santiago de Compostela. Almost because I also hiked part of it. Cycling is great but often harder than you think. I had to cut down on the daily kilometers! Now I'm hiking the Belgian/German border in small sections with another KZbin channel. That's Fun too. So enjoy your trip! 😊 Groetjes, Kaat

[@ClaraFrancken]

oh kei leuk, just subscribed to your channel! I love that. You did a big journey, how long did it take you from Belgium to Compostela? And I absolutely looove that you do the BE-DE border, will watch that content asap!!!

[@StepsbyKaatje]

@@ClaraFrancken the border adventure started last year with 2 days. Did another 2 days last week, but the video will only be out in the beginning of july. For Compostela, I cycled 18 days in spring 2023 and about the same in october. Also hiked the last 5 days in october, which was fun. I hope for you that the weather will get the coming weeks. Because cycling in the rain and wind is no fun. Good luck! Kaat

[@ClaraFrancken]

@@StepsbyKaatje thank uu yes I also post later so I'm 9days in and had to pause due to rain, you'll see in the upcoming episodes.. I was quite upset but you're right .. it really is no fun in the rain , and I can't film 🙃😩❤️

Ik denk dat Nederlandse fietswegen beter dan belgische wegen zijn want als ik in belgie ben gegaan, had ik niet gerealiseerd het grenz omdat er geen vlag was. Maar de wegen was veranderd. Op dit manier zag ik dat ik in Belgie was. Het had echt minder kwaliteit dan Nederlandse fietspaden. Aan de andere kant, is 1500 km echt dapper. Gefeliciteerd :D (Ducth is my 3rd language. So, if I made a mistake in the comment, sorry for that :). I am still learning)

[@ClaraFrancken]

dankuwel is super lief ! Ja dag 1 waren de fietspaden niet helemaal geweldig, maar volgende dagen waren beter, vooral zodra ik de app "komoot" begon te gebruiken. Sindsdien veel minder problemen op fietspaden gehad! :) en you speak great! what other languages do you speak?

[@muhammedhamza4596]

@@ClaraFrancken English and Turkish as a native language :)

[@Julian-ck6lf]

Nice video looks like an interesting trip 😊

[@ClaraFrancken]

Thank you so much! Yes it is the beginning of more days to come which are even more interesting indeed 😍

[@ClaraFrancken]

Hi Julian, could I ask you if you would give me some feedback please? 👉j9bfynsyj8u.typeform.com/to/D0Vht7EH I made this type form because I want to get people's thoughts on this video. It will be a long series with one video for every day on the bicycle. 🚴🏻‍♀ The survey has 6 questions and takes 5-7min to fill out. Have a great week!

[@Julian-ck6lf]

No problem will do it later today 😊

[@ClaraFrancken]

@@Julian-ck6lf Thank you so much!

Antwerpen de grootste export haven? Nou, Rotterdam wil even een woordje. Die haven is het grootst. De files rond Antwerpen zijn wellicht de grootste. Antwerpen is vanwege het tij moeilijk te bereiken, Rotterdam staat altijd open.

[@ClaraFrancken]

oh damn, ik heb dat op wikipedia gelezen, never trust wikipedia dus haha, dat zal iemand moeten aanpassen op de NL pagina over Antwerpen. Maar de files.. gelukkig heb ik die niet mogen meemaken op de fiets! 🫶
