Icon description route Description

From Lommel today you cycle through the fragrant pine forests. You will discover Bosland, a mighty nature reserve that grew out of mining history but now offers pure peace and nature experience.
First the landscape opens up and you get acquainted with the famous Lommel Sahara, a shining sand plain with turquoise water. You then cycle through vast forests to the iconic "Cycling through the Trees," where you gently climb up to the top of the canopy. Cycling across the circular bridge feels like you're momentarily floating above the forest. At the Glass House, you'll learn how local sand is the perfect raw material for glassmaking and sophisticated glassblowing. This route combines natural beauty, silence and surprising stories into one flowing cycling experience.
