Cycling in Limburg: Discover the Unique Nature of Maasmechelen
Experience the nature of Limburg in a unique way with two iconic cycling adventures: Cycling through the Heath and Cycling through the Water in Bokrijk, located in the Hoge Kempen National Park. These routes offer an unforgettable combination of scenery and adventure.
Cycling through the Heath
Takes you over a 294-meter-long wooden bridge through the vast Mechelse Heide, one of Flanders’ largest heathlands with 700 hectares of purple beauty. This route connects cycling nodes 550 and 551 and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the heath landscape.
Cycling through the Water
Allows you to ride over a 200-meter-long bike path right through a pond, with water on both sides at eye level. This unique experience is located at node 91 of the Limburg cycling network.
For those wanting to combine both experiences, there is a beautiful approximately 60-kilometer route connecting these two highlights via quiet forest paths. Along the way, there are plenty of rest areas and picnic benches to enjoy the views.
Start your adventure in Maasmechelen, the ideal base for cycling trips in Limburg. Whether you’re an avid cyclist or looking for a relaxing ride, these routes offer something for everyone.
