ブラデルの天然記念物・トップ20

Beautiful, quiet and scenic section. With a great cycle path in a wonderful forest.

From mid-August the heather is in bloom, this makes the Lommel Sahara even more beautiful than usual. Definitely worth it, many picnic spots, nice cycle path, ideal also to put the bike aside and take a walk along the water.

This 30-meter-high observation tower has three platforms that offer you a wide view of the surroundings.

Beautiful tower with accompanying views that are equally spectacular...

Beautiful nature reserve highly recommended

Beautiful nature reserve and very special walking area! Well worth a visit

A clear blue lake, surrounded by a mini-desert and coniferous and deciduous forest in the Bosland region. The lake was created by sand extraction in the 1920s.

This nature reserve with many opportunities for walking and cycling was created by human activities. For example, the lake was created by sand extraction between 1920 and 1925 and the exhalation of the former Lommel-Werkplaatsen zinc factory caused all green plants to disappear between 1902 and 1940. The result was 350 hectares of arid landscape covered in white sand. To prevent further expansion, coniferous forestation was established after the Second World War. The process of complete silting up was prevented with the help of hedges of deadwood (so-called 'mutsaards'). As a result, the sand area was reduced in size to the current 193 hectares. Today the area is known for its countless water birds and the exotic feral black swans. The Poudreries Réunies de Belgique explosives factory previously had its testing site on the Sahara. Remnants of this can be found, such as a shelter, the place where employees hid while testing grenades. There is also the ruins of an extermination pit, a structure with a diameter of about 10 meters in which unnecessary ammunition was demolished. As well as the original concrete safety pyramids, which had to stop shrapnel and cannonballs. (Wikipedia)
