Experience'Cycling through the Trees\\\'! You ride over an iconic bicycle bridge between the tops of the trees. You've never seen the forest like this before.

Bicycle bridge
Your route today starts in Pelt. You first cycle to the Klankenbos. A unique collection of sound installations is hidden between the trees, challenging you to deal with sound and silence in a conscious way. Nice to hear, beautiful to see! From here you drive to the experience 'Cycling through the Trees': a circular cycle bridge of approximately 700 meters long that gradually (3-4%) takes you to a height of 10 meters.

Bosland
You continue through Pijnven Domain Forest to Locht and Eksel. This region is called Bosland, not surprising with all those vast forests you cycle through! Just below Pelt you can have a coffee or a bite to eat at De Ballasthoeve. The Kolisbos nature reserve, located in the municipality of Pelt, is a forest with a beautiful play area for children. You drive back to your starting point along the canal.
