Ideas for 5 days from zeebrugge

Ok. 3 of us are heading to europe next year for our 3rd trip on motorcycles. Previously done black forest,harz mountains, , havent done france but just looking for inspiration as to where we can get to and back in the 5 days we have on arriving at zeebrugge.
All on road bikes and forest riding, mountains and twisties is what we seek.
All ideas welcome including cities to visit etc through people who have been.
Cheers

Totally agree with Tourider, also visit Bastogne, really nice town with a lovely square in the centre, nice place to have food and . There are also some nice routes along the Rhine depending on how many miles you want to do in a day

Enjoy

It's a big enough place, and in 5 days you can get to quite a lot of it from Zeebrugge; so it depends how much riding you want to do - long days or short days basically, and on what season of the year you are riding.

In 2 days from Zeebrugge you can "comfortably" get into the Pyrenees, the Alps, and to the east such as Poland.
Within France, consider the Massif Central - it is not as far south as the better known areas and has as many twisties as you may want for a few days away.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
