You can also take a nice walk parallel to the cycle junction over the old railway gate.

The Routeke is a former railway line (also called the Zolder coal track) that connected the Zolder coal mine with the De Lossing coal port in Genenbos / Lummen. It was used to transport coal by freight train from the Zolder coal washery to the Albert Canal. After the Zolder mine closed in the early nineties, the line was dismantled. An asphalt cycle path was then constructed on the railway bed. This is part of the Limburg cycle junction network (between junctions 304 and 311) and is designated as cycle highway F752.
