On the road in the Belgian & Brabantse Kempen

From Bergeijk you set course for Belgium. Cycling through the wooded cultural landscape immediately puts you in a good mood. Just before Lommel you pick up the Bocholt-Herentals canal. At junction 228 you will pass Joe\\\'s Bridge. In 1944, the bridge served as a springboard for the ground offensive of Operation Market Garden. After a few kilometers you turn off at Neerpelt and drive through the woods west of Achel. Just before bicycle junction 217 you can admire the buildings of St. Benedictusabdij - De Achelse Kluis. In the Netherlands you will discover one of the most beautiful parts of the route: the cycle path through the Malpie nature reserve. You drive through a mix of fens, forest and drifting dunes.
