Mechelse Heide Entrance Pavilion and Bike Path

Highlight • Rest Area

The Hoge Kempen National Park is the first and so far the only one in Belgium. It was opened in 2006 and, among other things, the pine forests and the heathland are protected here.

Cycle path through the Mechelse Heide

Highlight • Cycleway

A busy bike path, but still manageable without any problems. Every now and then there is a train of racing cyclists, but there are no problems with roots under the road surface.
