The rich past, between mines and ponds.

This varied cycling route takes you through forests and meadows, past ponds and castles, and through the remains of a rich mining history. You start at Domain Bovy, a large walking park with old half-timbered buildings. You cycle past Circuit Zolder, once a fixed appointment on the Formula 1 Calendar. Now, in addition to a motorsport circuit, it is also a hub for cycling with a BMX track and a cycling school. The Route also takes you past the former mine site, where you can discover how people worked and breathed at a depth of 800m in the ZLDR Air Factory. If you are still fresh in your legs, you can also leave from here for a walk on the Zolder mine slag heap for a phenomenal view of the surroundings. From here you continue past Vogelsanck castle, towards the Hermitage of Loretto, an authentically restored hermitage with chapel from which you can enjoy a beautiful view of the ponds and the castle of Terlaemen. You can conclude in beauty in one of the cozy catering establishments in and around Domain Bovy.
