Discover the beauty of Limburg by bike with a looped route starting from the parking lot at Visit MaasMechelen. You ride straight into nature, heading toward the impressive mining spoil heaps of Eisden – a unique landscape where industry and nature blend harmoniously. Fietsen tussen de Mijnterrils is a floating bridge between the heaps and a definite highlight of the trip.
The route continues through the Hoge Kempen National Park, where you arrive at the renovated A Station in As. Via peaceful cycling paths, you reach the lively city of Genk, where culture and nature coexist beautifully.
Next comes the second major cycling experience: Fietsen door het Water in Bokrijk. You ride with dry feet straight through a pond – a thrilling and unforgettable moment. Just after this iconic spot, the route takes you through the quiet, forested landscapes of Zutendaal, then along Fietsen door de Heide and through the charming Eisden Garden City, a historic mining neighbourhood with character and a rich past.
Varied, smooth, and fully signposted, this route blends natural beauty with cultural heritage. Perfect for recreational cyclists or anyone seeking a relaxing day out. Discover the magic of Limburg through this unique combination: Fietsen tussen de Mijnterrils, de Heide, and het Water.
