S-Bridge Over the Bocholt-Herentals Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The beauty of bridges: They connect. This architectural masterpiece by the architect W. Grauwner connects two nature reserves: the Lommel Sahara and the Blekerheide.

The S-shaped construction is made of steel and wood and is suspended from two steel pylons.

Bosland Play Forest

Highlight • Forest

Artist Will Beckers has been commissioned to create a landscape work for the Lommel entrance gate to Bosland National Park, located on Speelpleinstraat. The installation will consist of three zones, with the House of Nature as the eye-catcher.

The design includes an art installation consisting of three zones that together create a total experience in the area between the Klagloop and the cycle path on Speelpleinstraat towards the canal.

Bocholt-Herentals Canal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The Bocholt-Herentals Canal (also known as Kempisch Canal or Maas-Schelde Canal) was first part of the Kempische Vaart (1846). In the 1930s, the western part merged into the Albert Canal or was filled in. The eastern part remained, was widened and deepened (1926-8) and received its current name. However, it lost its role as the only waterway between the industry around Liège and the port of Antwerp. From then on, a lot of traffic was taken over by the shorter and modern Albert Canal.
