Super nice lookout tower with an even better overview of the area... The Sahara, the ponds and the forests can be seen in one package...

If you want to see Bosland from the air, you can now do so on the brand new lookout tower. With the 144 stairs you reach the top, at a height of 30 meters, which is just a little higher than 15 doors on top of each other!

The ropes draped around the tower reflect the lines of the dunes in the Sahara. If you would put all the rope behind each other, it would be as long as 30 football fields in a row (about 3.5 km). On the way up, you can still enjoy the view between the ropes, which extends further and further as you go up the stairs.

Once at the top you can see up to 25 km on a clear day (that's almost 210 football fields!)! Would you like to zoom in on that beautiful view? That is also possible, there is an observation viewer available upstairs.

Beautiful view over the Lommel Sahara and the Kempen from this lookout tower. You will feel like you are in far away places from this vantage point.
