single track through the pine forests near Retie.

At Kattendijk, we deviate briefly to the left, to the beautiful picnic area at the Leyssensmolen. This important landmark is a corn mill with a very turbulent history. The wooden Leyssensmolen, surrounded by a green hedge and crowned with a pyramidal roof, is a must-see in Kattenbos. The mill, named after the Leyssen family who managed it from 1860 to 1905, has been a protected monument since 2001. After three relocations, the last in 1964, the mill now rests in this idyllic location amidst the vast natural landscape. If you've brought a picnic, this is undoubtedly the most beautiful picnic spot of the day.

The Dessel-Kwaadmechelen Canal is a 15.7 km long canal in Belgium. It connects the canal junction in Dessel with the Albert Canal in Kwaadmechelen (municipality of Ham). It is one of the seven Kempen canals between the Meuse and the Scheldt rivers. It flows through four municipalities: Dessel, Mol, Balen, and Ham. Upon completion in 1858, it formed part of the branch canal to Hasselt. It has a gauge of 2,000 tons, contains no locks, and has a bend near the junction with the Albert Canal. At Dessel, it connects with two Kempen canals: the Bocholt-Herentals Canal and the Dessel-Turnhout-Schoten Canal. There are eleven bridges across the canal: three road bridges in Mol (near Sluis, Rauw, and Gompel), four road bridges in Balen (near Balen, Hoolst, Olmen, and Gervoort), and two road bridges in Ham. There are also two railway bridges over the canal: railway line 15 and railway line 19 run over the canal.

At this location you are standing in front of the iconic and historic lifting bridge in Balen-Wezel. The sturdy lifting bridge is an important connection over the Beverlo Canal, both economically and recreationally. Information about the Beverlo Canal runs from the harbour basin in Leopoldsburg in a northerly direction to the Bocholt-Herentals Canal. The canal has a length of 14.8 kilometres. The canal is no longer of great importance for commercial shipping and is therefore a beautiful canal for pleasure craft. There are eight bridges over the canal, some of which are still made of wood. The banks are mostly natural and reinforced in some places. The canal runs through many nature reserves and passes many bodies of water.
