Hiking

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.

Hiking

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.
