Are you looking for all practical information about the Baloise Belgium Tour?
Then you can download our free fan guide below.
It gives you the timetables and roadmaps, but also everything you need to know about mobility and unmissable start presentations. Continue reading and be prepared for the start!
Merelbeke-Melle
There will be two large bicycle parking areas next to the library (accessible via the wegel Dijsegem) and behind the Vredegerecht (accessible via the Hundelgemsesteenweg).
The start zone will be completely traffic-free. Therefore, it will be impossible to park in the immediate vicinity.
The Tramstelplaats and Gemeentehallen are the nearest car parks accessible to the public. Other car parks in the vicinity are reserved for the organisers and race jury.
Stopping and parking along both sides of the local course is banned between 11am and 2:30pm, except where parking is possible next to the carriageway.
De Lijn will not serve the Molenhoek and Merelbeke-kerk stops in either direction.
Check the De Lijn website.
Knokke-Heist
The easiest way to reach the Baloise Belgium Tour is by bike.

Train
Trains run every hour from Knokke via Bruges to Brussels Airport. The Belgian railway company (NMBS-SNCF) offers different fares aimed at specific target groups. To find out which ticket works best for you, please consult their website: www.belgianrail.be.
Knokke-Heist has 3 NMBS stations:
- Knokke station
- Duinbergen station
- Heist station
Bus
From Knokke station, regular buses take you quickly and easily to the far corners of the municipality:
Bus 12 runs to De Oosthoek via Het Zoute.
Bus 3 runs to Ramskapelle via Heist.
Bus 44 runs to Westkapelle via the hospital.
In Westkapelle, you can change to continue your journey to Bruges (buses 41 or 42) or to Sluis/Breskens via (bus 42).
It is best to use De Lijn’s routeplanner for the timetable of all busses.
Coastal Tram
Take the coastal tram towards the Wandelaar. It is best to get off at the “Heist Duinbergen” stop. This stop is within walking distance of the arrival.
More info on the coastal tram? https://www.delijn.be/nl/routeplanner/
If you asked us, we’d tell you that the grass is a little greener here, and our paths invite you to slow down. Merelbeke-Melle, gateway to the Flemish Ardennes, is a hidden gem nestled among the fields with a view of Ghent’s towers. Merelbeke-Melle, surprisingly more.
Knokke-Heist is the coast town par excellence where everything revolves around having a good time. Classy enjoyment in unique surroundings where vibrant life and peaceful nature go hand in hand. The absolute world’s best in terms of exclusive shopping, top gastronomy and tasteful art.
