RAVENNA: THESE ARE THE BEST SIGHTS, HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS

Belgian Limburg is the cycling region par excellence. You can follow all kinds of special routes: through the water, over the heath or between the trees. Enthusiasts of long trips, sports enthusiasts or cyclists who prefer to regularly sit on a terrace will also find something to their liking. Limburg is therefore a real cycling paradise with no less than 2000 kilometers of paved, safe and largely car-free cycle paths. Read more about cycling in Belgian Limburg below.

The cycle route network

The cycle route network was invented in Limburg and adopted worldwide to attract cycling tourists. Miraculously, but the concept works. In 2020, no fewer than 2 million 90 thousand cyclists were counted on the Limburg Cycle Route network! An insane number! All these cyclists make their way through the various junctions and thus compose their own routes. Most cycle paths are traffic-free and easy to find thanks to the blue signs. Be warned, because during the holiday periods there are sometimes bicycle traffic jams due to the many cycling tourists.

'Cycling through the water'

A Burn-out doesn't stand a chance when you go cycling in Limburg. Here you can become completely zen and one with nature. In Bokrijk's backyard you can find a very special bicycle path. Here you cycle right through one of the ponds of the 'de Wijers' nature reserve. For more than 200 meters you cycle through the water with the water at eye level on both sides. If you are lucky, a duck or swan can accompany you.

How do I get there?

Follow the cycle route network until junction 91. If you prefer to use this location as the starting point for your bike ride, it is best to park at the main entrance of Bokrijk domain (paying) – Bokrijklaan 1, 3600 Genk.

Cycling through the trees'

If you would like to gain altitude, you can take a 700-metre cycle path in Bosland that takes you 10 meters up to the treetops. Very special about this project is that it is good for nature. Because of the construction, smaller native trees in the large pine forest will have more space and light to grow. In addition, the construction is made in such a way that the 449 posts resemble high tree stumps that blend in perfectly with the environment. Did you know that 'cycling through the trees' even won the World Landscape Architecture Awards: an important international architecture competition!

How do I get there?

Cycling through the trees is located near junction 272. If you prefer to use this location as a starting point for your bike ride, it is best to park at the main entrance of domain Pijnven in Bosland. Here you can also enjoy a lovely walk .

'Cycling through the heath'

After cycling through the trees and cycling through the water, Limburg could not forget the Heide. This new project was already a bull's eye. Cycling through the heath takes you over a four-kilometre cycle route, right through the purple heathland of the Hoge Kempen National Park in Maasmechelen, over a 300-metre-high wooden bicycle bridge.

How do I get there?

Cycling through the heath is on the cycle route network 550-551. If you prefer to use this location as the starting point for your bike ride, it is best to park at one of the entrances to the National Park, for example at the entrance gate of the Terhills in Maasmechelen. Here you can also enjoy a lovely walk .

Cycling through the ground

Limburg continues to innovate and focus on bicycle tourism. Soon they will start with a new experience, namely cycling through the historic marl quarries of Kanne.

How can you plan your cycling route?

It is easy to map out a cycling route via the bicycle route planner of the province of Limburg. The planner gives you an overview of the complete cycle route network with all cycle paths and junctions.
