The Reed Pond

Highlight • Lake

Away from the hustle and bustle (at the water crossing) there are always idyllic small ponds, such as the Rietvijver here.

The cycle path through the water leads cyclists over a 212-meter-long and three-meter-wide concrete path, with water at eye level on both sides. Swans and other waterfowl swim along the banks, curiously watching the cyclists. Since its opening, interest in this unique cycle path has been enormous. On average, 800 visitors per day explore this unforgettable part of the Limburg cycle network, with peaks on Saturdays and Sundays, and on some days even up to 5,000 cyclists.

Heather Fields of Tenhaagdoornheide Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

A beautiful cycle path through the moors. It can be very busy here with cyclists and walkers. But nature is also very beautiful.

Bokrijk Arboretum

Highlight • Natural

The Arboretum, a collection of exotic shrubs, of the former Bokrijk estate is a well-kept and well-maintained complex with plenty of seating for relaxing. A visit to the ponds and the path through a bamboo forest worthwhile.
