Kempenroute: Fully enjoy the Kempen~Broek

It is wonderful to cycle around Bocholt through the many extensive nature reserves of GrensPark Kempen~Broek. In the village itself you can enjoy the Limburg geniality and historical sights, such as the Sint-Laurentiuskerk with its history of the tower relocation. The route starts at the Tourism Office. You then cycle along the leafy canal to Berghei, a forest where you can breathe in the fresh scent of coniferous trees. The adjacent Kolisbos and the further Goolderbos are two former heathlands that are mainly planted with Scots pines. How wonderfully quiet it is here! From Bocholt to Stramproy you cycle through a mosaic of farmland and grasslands. Just before junction 45 you can enjoy the view over the valley of the Tungelerbeek. Further on you cycle through the Tungelerwallen nature reserve, followed by the forests of Altweerterheide and the IJzeren man. How beautiful the Kempen~Broek is! You can enjoy this area with a drink in the Luysmolen.
