The approximately 200-meter-long path leads right through a large body of water in the De Wijers nature reserve. The water is at eye level on both sides – an extraordinary experience that gives the impression of cycling or walking directly through the pond.

Note: In strong winds or high water levels, the path may be temporarily submerged or closed.

"Cycling through Water" is a unique cycling experience that takes you over 200 meters straight through a pond. The cycle path opened in April 2016, and since then, many cyclists and walkers have experienced the magic of this place.

The path leads you straight through a pond, all the way from one bank to the other. In the middle, the water is at eye level on both sides. You can feel, see, and smell the water. A beautiful and unique view of this piece of nature. When you watch from a distance, it's amusing to see all the heads passing by on the water's surface. Even though it's called "Cycling through Water," the path is open to walkers and joggers.

Cycling through the Water in Bokrijk (Genk, Belgium) is one of the most unique and photogenic cycling experiences you can have in Limburg. At the heart of the extensive De Wijers pond landscape, a dedicated cycle path, over 200 meters long, cuts right through a pond. As you cycle along this path, you'll have the water at eye level on both sides: you'll see, feel, and smell the water, almost as if you were right in the middle of it—an almost surreal experience.

The path is located at junction 91 of the cycle route network that winds through the Bokrijk estate and the surrounding nature reserves. From the bike rental point, you can easily cycle to this unique spot via the numbered junctions.

Walkers and joggers can also use the cycle path, and there are signposted walking routes that lead you past the same water landscape.
