The Blue Boulder

Highlight • River

The Blauwe Kei - De Maat area actually consists of three unique nature areas, each with its own character. Haylands, deciduous forests, heaths, fens, shallow ponds and marshes alternate in this surprising piece of nature on the border between Lommel and Mol.

You will find wooded drives, inland dunes and vast plains here. De Blauwe Kei is one of the tourist attractions of Lommel, with its canal and sassencomplex.

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.
