In Pijnven, hikers and cyclists can get close to the tree tops. Here you hike or cycle in a double circle up to a height of 10 meters between the trees. The path is 3 meters wide, 700 meters long and slowly rises with about 3-4%. Then it goes down again with the same gradient. It offers hikers or cyclists a 360 degree experience in Hechtel-Eksel, on Pijnven in the so-called Bosland, at junction 272 of the cycle path network. Easily accessible by car, there is a large car park from which you can directly explore the extensive grounds and the circular hiking trails. An adventure for the whole family.
The information comes from a newspaper article.

One of those things you definitely want to do if you are not afraid of heights. On days when it is freezing and wet or snowing, chances are that you are not really allowed on it. On the cycle path further on you will find a monument with the names of the designers and initiators.

The iconic bicycle bridge 'Cycling through the Trees' can also be discovered as a walker at walking junction 287 or follow the orange route.
