Wortegem-Petegem

Wortegem-Petegem straddles the gently rolling divide between the Scheldt and Leie valleys in the Flemish Ardennes, a setting that has kept its villages closely tied to farming and inland East Flanders. The municipality brings together Wortegem, Petegem-aan-de-Schelde, Elsegem, Moregem and Ooike, communities consolidated in Belgium’s 1977 municipal reorganisation. Fields, hedgerows and dispersed farmsteads define the area more than dense development, while the nearby Scheldt valley runs towards Oudenaarde, a historic town renowned for tapestry weaving. Its undulating lanes belong to the cycling country of the Flemish Ardennes, a region closely associated with classic road racing.
