Around the Belgian town of Bree it is wonderful to cycle through the many quiet nature reserves. A journey that will make you hungry. That's a good thing: in this region you will find many places where you can enjoy a cozy and good meal!

Abeek valley
First you come through the Abeek valley, a picturesque landscape where you can make wonderful kilometers. What immediately stands out here: the silence! You cross the Netherlands for a while, after which you enter Hasselterbroek in Belgium: a nature reserve where you will find a mix of meadows, small forests and heaths. In Tongerlo you can see the Sint-Pieterskerk, which originally dates from the fifteenth century.

Castle Park
In Opitter you drive through the castle park laid out in English landscape style. The castle, which was built in 1900, has been demolished, but you can see a nineteenth-century flour mill that serves as a residence. A little later you cycle into the Itterdal, a beautiful nature reserve. In Reppel you will pass sights such as the presbytery from 1616, the Monshof and the ancient Reppel mill. You can also see the striking Sint-Willibrord Church here. You can go to Stad Bree for more information about this region.
