The best MTB trails in Lembeekse Bossen

Nice narrow gravel path through an agricultural landscape. Watch out when meeting oncoming traffic. Don't forget to enjoy the landscape that changes color every season.

This highlight is anything but near Knokke Heist, this is near Eeklo and about 40 km from Knokke Heist

Ideal place to practice technical MTB skills. There are drops, banked turns, table & gap jumps.

Starting point for a beautiful hike through Lembeke

It is becoming a bit extreme, there are too few jumps in succession, where I think you cannot reach sufficient speed, I fear that there will be more serious accidents and that it will soon be over to acquire some technical skills there

This beautiful path through the Lembeekse Bossen offers an adventurous MTB experience with winding single tracks, sandy sections and roots that provide an extra challenge. The forest is densely overgrown and lets sunlight fall alternately through the trees, which creates an atmospheric rhythm of light and shadow.

on a sandy background, often a bit muddy, but always surprisingly beautiful

Comfort spot FERM For everyone who longs for comfort Comfort, a beautiful and age-old word. For the confidence, even when things are difficult, that there will always be a tomorrow. Here you can plant comfort yourself, with flower bulbs full of resilience and hope. The promise of a new beginning. Together we give comfort a place. PLANT COMFORT This place is ours. Here we are forever the silent crackling in the beautiful morning light. The blossoming flower, an eternal wind. That only you look like this we don't have to explain to anyone. Silently we put our hands together as if by itself. See, you laugh because you know for sure: Here, is where we are together. This place is ours. Written by Jan Ducheyne (Party for Poetry) The COMFORT BIRD In this bird – lying away towards the warm south – one can, with a little imagination, recognize the following meanings as a symbol of the final farewell and the lasting memory: The picture with which the creation is attached to the oak (symbol of imperishability and immortality) has the shape of an elusive impressive cumulus cloud on the distant horizon. The bird lying away, which represents the (the) missed, is provided with 2 different chains: one in ordinary carbon steel and another in stainless steel or as they used to say in stainless steel. The carbon steel chain is interrupted, it can rust and disappear completely, which represents the transience of life, the ending of a certain period or situation. The other stainless steel chain is uninterrupted and represents the lasting, indestructible memory. The dimensions of the stainless steel chain evolve from heavy to light, and just as a long road to the horizon narrows, this represents the passing of time. Because the future in which one finds oneself is unpredictable, the bird does not have eyes. The wide-spread wings refer to the protective, purifying effect that remembering the past can bring (as in the saying: "under mother's wings"). Design and execution by Johan Vermeire, Oostwinkel. Made on the occasion of the opening of the place of comfort for Ferm, Oostwinkel, 2021.
