As you cycle over the bridge ‘Fietsen door de Heide’, stop for a moment and experience the unparalleled magnificent heathland. Use all of your senses to take in the nature: the scent of the heather flowers, the sounds of the birds around you, the delightful breeze, and of course the magnificent view.
Junctions 550 – 551
From the bank of the canal Zuid-Willemsvaart, set off for a unique and literally – high level -experience. The tree-top path runs between the tree tops. From this unique trail, you have a privileged view of the curious effects of mine subsidence. And, you’ll also be amazed by the number of birds and insects among the trees. The ‘Kruinenpad’ is 181 metres long.
Junctions 48 – 55
Welcome to Eisden Tuinwijk, where history is inextricably linked with the present day. The mining industry of times past had a major impact on our municipality. Of the industrial complex numbering 56 buildings, only the main building, warehouses, mine shaft towers and bathhouse façade still remain. These were restored and given a new purpose. The former residential areas, where miners and their families once dwelled, still partly retain their original appearance.
Junctions 502 – 60
The wildest part of the Meuse river in the RivierPark Maasvallei is to be found in Maasmechelen, more specifically in the Maaswinkel natural area. This is also the ideal spot for a picnic, or a break at the Zomerbar (Summer Bar). Enjoy the magnificent view over the babbling border-area of the Meuse
River, wild grazing animals, herons, flora and fauna.
Junctions 51 - 57
Hidden in the greenery, where a winding bridge connects the Long Terril and the Twin Terril, you cycle through a piece of industrial heritage right in the heart of nature.
From the bridge, you look out over the water. On one side stretches the Lanklaarderbos, on the other, Terhills Beach invites you with its surprisingly southern atmosphere. Hop off your bike for a moment and take in this unique setting. And yes… maybe a quick photo for the family group chat?
