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

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.
