- Vhello, the node-to-node network in the Heart of Hainaut
Utopix_Hyacinthe
Utopix_HyacintheWith 1,200 km of signposted cycling routes, Vhello invites you to explore the Heart of Hainaut by bike across 24 municipalities. This network connects to a vast system of more than 41,000 km of node routes, linking Wallonie Picarde, Walloon Brabant and even Northern France.
The node-based cycling network, also known as "Knooppunten", is a system of signposted cycling routes developed in Flanders about fifteen years ago. Today, this structured network extends across much of Wallonia, the Netherlands and Germany, and is an essential reference for cycle tourism and leisure rides.
Operating like a road network dedicated to cyclists, the node-to-node system relies on a dense mesh of interconnected routes. The territory is divided into short cycling segments, usually between 1 and 5 kilometres, allowing cyclists to easily create personalised routes.
Each intersection corresponds to a numbered node, clearly indicated by directional cycling signage. On-site signs guide cyclists to the next nodes, while cycling maps and digital tools precisely indicate distances between sections.
One of the main advantages of the node cycling network is its flexibility: you can plan a route in advance or modify it at any time depending on your level, available time or desire for discovery. Routes can be followed in both directions and offer endless combinations, ideal for family rides, cycling tours or tourist itineraries.
