Icon description route Description

Bustling Genk lies between De Wijers and the Hoge Kempen National Park. On this cycle route we take in both. We take in the atmosphere of the city center before heading for the cool forest around the Kattevennen gateway. Via De Maten nature reserve, we head for the Albert Canal. In Bokrijk we must of course 'Cycle through the water', still the highlight in terms of cycling experience in the forest province.

Sunday, July 25, 2021 by Spiegler JerryBeautiful route in and around Genk, forest landscape interspersed with cozy neighborhoods. Recommended around junction 30 for a bite and drink De Krater, also the temporary summer pop-up bars in Bokrijk were a pleasant surprise.

Wednesday, March 31, 2021 by A.B.Top route! Such a beautiful route. Not just the water, but the whole route is great. From one forest to another, including parks. Also the quality of the complete route is great. A real cycling paradise.

Sunday, August 23, 2020 by Rudy van TilburgVery nice route really recommended and definitely do not forget to end the day with a nice dinner at BISTRO BELS on the mining site near the parking lot of the starting point
