Description

Just below Turnhout you cycle through the wonderfully quiet forests and stream valleys of the Belgian Kempen. You will discover beautiful nature reserves and towns such as Tielen and Lichtaart.

Grotenhout forest
The route starts on the Kempen ridge between Lichtaart and Herentals. You drive here through a gently sloping area of fragrant coniferous forests. A little later the landscape opens up as you cycle into the stream valley of the Aa. What a picture! Just below Vosselaar you drive through the Grotenhoutbos, one of the oldest forests in the Antwerp Kempen. As early as the thirteenth century, the dukes of Brabant held grand hunting parties here.

High Sleeve
Along the way there is also a lot of cultural history to discover, such as characteristic old chapels. In the village of Tielen you drive through the Hofdreef where the medieval castle Tielenhof is located. Be sure to take a look here. A little further on you cycle into the provincial domain of the Hoge Sleeve. This nature reserve is named after the Hoge Sleeve, a 35-metre-high sand drift that was 40 meters high years ago. At Floreal Camping Kempen you will experience the invigorating tranquility of the Kempen in the middle of the nature of the Purperen Heide. The ideal place to relax after your trip.
