The Belgian Forest

Just outside Lommel you make a beautiful route through the Bosland: the largest forest in Flanders. You drive through sub-areas such as De Blauwe Kei, the Waaltjesbos and the Kattenbos. Get on the saddle for a day of green enjoyment.

Blue Boulder
At Europarcs Resort De Kempen you can enjoy a carefree holiday. Just charge the battery, so that you have plenty of energy for a day of cycling. You drive along the Rauwse Meer, further on is De Blauwe Kei: a nature reserve of hay meadows, forest and marsh. How wonderfully quiet it is here, just like in the adjacent Waaltjesbos. This sub-area of the Bosland owes its name to the large influx of Walloon job seekers who settled here around 1800.

Dommel valley
The Kattenbos is a coniferous forest that surrounds the Kattenbosserheide, one of the four remnants of what was once one gigantic Kempen heathland. As you drive among the Scots pines, you smell a sweet, fresh forest air. Further on you drive through the woods of the Pijnven and through the Dommel valley. You cycle through the Keiheuvel, a coniferous forest that lies on a cover sand hill. At Mangerie Weselo you can enjoy a delicious meal before you drive back to Europarcs Resort De Kempen.
