Beautiful section where the bike path is a little narrower (by Belgian standards). You drive along the tracks of a narrow-gauge railway, at a memorial in honor of a crashed Lancaster and at a lookout tower.

This observation tower is not far from the train station. It offers a wonderful view of the surrounding area and forests.
