Icon description route Description

You start this Limburg quest on the spot where the Leyssensmolen used to stand, the historic beacon of Kattenbos, a hamlet of Lommel. Now a butterfly sculpture flaunts itself here and the neighborhood is completely 'Bevlindert' thanks to artist Will Beckers. It is here that you enter the Kattenbos - not the hamlet, but effectively the forest - and head via the Kattenbosser heath toward the Pijnven nature reserve. Here a diversity of fauna and flora dwells in a landscape of colorful heaths and mysterious fens. You can't help but unwind in this piece of Woodland.

In October 2023, this area was awarded the label National Park Flanders.
