    An S-shaped construction consisting of a combination of wood and metal, suspended from two steel pylons, bridges the Kempen Canal and leads you to the popular nature and hiking area of the Lommelse Sahara. The bridge looks modern and is fully integrated into the oasis of greenery and tranquility. Cyclists can also use this bridge. You can even see a concrete bunker along the side of the Lommelse Sahara. This bunker is one of the 15 war bunkers that lie along the canal between Lommel and Dessel. Bats have found their ideal habitat here.

    Great bike bridge to cross the canal. Here you come from the border cycle path to the Lommelse Sahara.

    The pedestrian bridge over the Bocholt-Herentals Canal connects two nature reserves: the Lommelse Sahara and Blekerheide. The unique design of the pedestrian bridge was awarded the Steel Construction Prize 2002

    It's the fastest way if you want to cycle to the Sahara and to the lookout tower.
