Lommel terrace tour along 8 hotspots start/end Parelstrand

During this 44 km long cycling route you will discover 8 Lommel hotspots, from breathtaking nature to cozy terraces and the most iconic places in the city. The first stop is at the impressive House of Nature (hotspot #1), a monumental steel sculpture that serves as a gateway to National Park Bosland, with its 7.5 meters high and 50 meters wide. Then you cycle through the Sahara forest towards the Bocholt-Herentals canal, where you pass a cozy café in the middle of nature. Once you cross the canal, the route leads you to the elegant Pedestrian Bridge (hotspot #2), which blends in beautifully with the green landscape thanks to its S-shaped design with steel and wood. After following the calm water of the canal, you arrive at the charming Blauwe Kei area (hotspot #3), where you can relax at the cozy cycling cafe with a large terrace and a view of the water. Further on you will come to the elegant cycle bridge at Kristalpark (hotspot #4), which takes you past a hypermodern wind farm and the largest solar panel park in the Benelux. You are now halfway through the cycle route. A little further on we will again find the serenity along the water of the canal to Beverlo. Here you can make a stop at the terraces located along the Blauwe Reiger Yacht Club (hotspot #5). After your short break you cycle on to the iconic cycle bridge 'Cycling through the Trees' (hotspot #6), where you cycle via a double circle to the treetops, 10 meters above the ground! Continue your route past the impressive German military cemetery (hotspot #7), the largest Western European cemetery from WWII, where you can enjoy the famous Lommelse meatballs at the nearby restaurant. End your terrace tour in the bustling city center of Lommel (hotspot #8), where you have an abundant choice of cafes, restaurants and terraces.
