From the most beautiful panorama to the most beautiful village in Flanders

You start your route at the Terhills Hotel, close to the luxurious outlet village of Maasmechelen Village and the main gateway to the Hoge Kempen National Park. Put your bike aside here and walk up the old mining slag heap. This panorama is the most beautiful in all of Flanders! A second gateway to the National Park is located at node 60, the Mechelse Heide. Enjoy the view from a height of 104 meters or discover the purple heath from mid-August to September. At junction 58 you will discover Oud-Rekem. Awarded the most beautiful village in Flanders in 2008. The castle d\\\'Aspremont-Lynden, the museum church, the museum pharmacy, the Senden distillery and the many historic buildings together form a beautiful historic village that takes you back in time. From Oud-Rekem you continue cycling along the Maas. The Maas is an impressive rain river and forms the Belgian-Dutch border from Maastricht to Kessenich for 40 km. The RivierPark has a varied landscape with a maze of old river arms, levees, stream channels and gravel banks.
