南リンブルフ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

ハイデを巡る、実に印象的なツアー

素晴らしい素晴らしいアイデアで、この地域の真のハイライトです。 よく見ると、橋が動く場所や形がわずかに変わる場所が見えます。

テリル（鉱滓）の間をサイクリングすることは、水上サイクリングとしても知られており、2024年9月に一般公開されたサイクリングプロジェクトです。これは、リゾートTerhillsの近くのテリル間のGroße Plas（大池）にかかるポンツーン自転車道/歩道です。これは、以前リンブルフのサイクリングパラダイスで実現された特別なサイクリングプロジェクトのシリーズへの新しい追加です（例：Bokrijkドメインの水の中をサイクリング、Zutendaalの北のヘドランドをサイクリング、Bosland国立公園の森の中をサイクリング）。

非常に静かな場所

砂利道は石畳よりもはるかに快適です

Beautiful town center with remains of the wall

In the Hoge Kempen National Park, Belgium's only national park, covering over 12,000 hectares of forests, heathlands, lakes, and valleys, cycling facilities have been significantly enhanced in recent years with new routes and experience points that make the area's natural diversity uniquely accessible to cyclists. One of the most striking of these is the cycle route near Kikmolen, located on the southwestern edge of the park near Maasmechelen, not far from the Dutch border. A special section cuts through the vast nature reserve. This cycling experience, part of the National Park's extensive cycling junction network, was introduced in 2021 as a new and attractive addition to the cycling offer. Instead of simply following regular cycle paths through forests and heathland, the route literally takes you through the heathland and open landscape of the Mechelse Heide, one of the largest heathlands in Flanders, with approximately 700 hectares of nature. What makes this route so special is the nearly 300-meter-long wooden panoramic bridge that forms part of the route between junctions 550 and 551. Constructed from sustainable wood, this bridge resembles a pier by the sea, yet nestled amidst the heathland and forests of Limburg. As you cycle across it, the path literally rises above the ground, offering unobstructed views of the Mechelse Heide and the surrounding nature park from its wooden structure. Horses graze in the distance, and in various spots, you'll see the rich flora and fauna that characterize the national park, making every bike ride a true nature experience. The route is approximately four kilometers long and forms part of the regional cycling network that runs through the National Park. You can combine this path with longer rides through the park using the numerous junctions, making it easy to create your own route or follow one of the suggested routes. Bicycles are available for rent at various park entrances, such as Station As Terhills or Kattevennen, so you don't necessarily need to bring your own. The cycling experience at Kikmolen is not only beautiful because of its natural and panoramic character, but also because of its accessibility. It's close to amenities such as campsites and restaurants, including a brasserie and parking facilities at the campsite itself. This makes the route part of a day trip or a longer visit to the park, with opportunities to explore other cycling or hiking routes, such as those along mine spoil tips or through forests and water features within the national park.

Currently, the visitor center (which forms part of the entrance) is still the wooden-clad building with "National Park Visitor Center" written on it in large letters. Inside, you'll find all sorts of information and services, as well as a shop selling regional products. As you can see on-site or in the photos, work is underway on a new visitor center. The canvases around the fence of the western headframe show what it will look like. The visitor center is being built in the western headframe of the former coal mine. Thanks to the "box-in-a-box" principle, the historical character of this iconic heritage site will be largely preserved. In addition to the reception area, the center will also include a shop, cafeteria, meeting and exhibition spaces, and viewpoints. The highlight will be a viewing platform 24 meters high, offering panoramic views of the National Park and far into the Netherlands, Germany, and even the High Fens. The work will continue until 2027. During that period, the headframe will remain inaccessible. During this time, you can, of course, still visit the current visitor center.
