Description
A gently sloping bicycle route takes you in tow through southeastern part of the Hoge Kempen National Park. This region has been shaped by its past as an industrial mining and gravel extraction site. From Terhills, the former mining site of Eisden, it goes straight through the garden district to the Mechelse Heide. Experience route Cycling through the Heath presents you with unique vistas of the heath landscape alternating with rugged pine forests. The former gravel extraction further on creates beautiful water features in the valley of the Kikbeek spring. Through shady forests, it heads toward Pietersheim. Here everything revolves around the history of the photogenic castle and 12th-century moated castle. Another topper for your Instafeed? Oud-Rekem, the most beautiful village in Flanders!
