From Mol to the forests around Postel

This route takes you from Mol to Postel and back. A varied tour characterized by canals, vast forests and Flemish coziness.

Silver Lake
From Mol you will soon be cycling along the shady cycle path along the Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Canal. It is wonderful to pedal on, the kilometres seem to pass by themselves as you cycle along the rippling water and the beautiful old houses. After crossing the Bocholt-Herentals Canal at Witgoor, you will continue cycling along a canal that was dug with a shovel in the mid-nineteenth century in fifteen years!

Postel forests
In the vast forests around Postel, the inhabited world seems far away. Conifers dominate the view. Sometimes there are patches of heathland or fields, sometimes you suddenly feel some cooling on your arms from a stream that flows next to the cycle path. The landscape carries with it a rich history of itinerant peddlers and smugglers. Before you cycle back to Mol, stop off at Mangerie Weselo near Wezel, located in a beautiful historic building.
