Cycling Through The Trees

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

'Fietsen door de bomen' in National Park Bosland is located at junction 272 of the cycle network in nature reserve Pijnven, which is itself part of the dense forest landscape of National Park Bosland.

The poles supporting the cycle path symbolize the straight trunks of the pine trees in the forest where it is located. This ensures that the construction blends beautifully into the surroundings. The forests of Pijnven consist mainly of conifers that were planted decades ago for timber production for mining. However, with the closure of the Limburg coal mines, these trees were never felled.

The German Military Cemetery is the largest Western European cemetery from WWII. Here 39,111 German soldiers were given their final resting place.

Beverlo Canal

Highlight • River

The Canal to Beverlo is a branch of the Bocholt-Herentals Canal near the hamlet of "Blauwe Kei" in Lommel. It is one of the seven Kempen canals between the Maas and the Scheldt.
Construction started in 1854 and was completed three years later. The canal was dug mainly for military reasons. After the independence of Belgium, the Beverlo Camp was established in Beverlo from 1835 onwards (called Leopoldsburg from 1932). The Camp needed good access roads for the supply and transport of heavy military equipment. Afterwards, the canal also became important for the metal industry (Vieille Montagne), which settled along the canal in Balen in 1889.
The canal ends in the harbor basin of Leopoldsburg and is free of locks.

Kanaal van Beverlo

Highlight • River

The canal to Beverlo was built in a record time of three years. The excavation work began in 1854. It serves as a branch of the Bocholt-Herentals canal and was mainly built for military purposes. It was a supply canal for the garrison town of Leopoldsburg. Later it also became commercially important for the metal industry in Lommel. The canal flows into the port bay of Leopoldsburg and is navigable without locks.
