Blauwe Kei: canal bank walk

Description

A beautiful walk that starts at the "Blauwe Kei" in Lommel.

One might expect this route to run along the banks of the Bocholt-Herentals canal, and indeed it does. The surprising thing, however, is that the canal is only visible in a few places.

The canal is crossed via the Bailey Bridge. At the beginning of World War II, the original bridge was destroyed. At the liberation of our country, the British replaced it with a military bridge designed by D.C. Bailey, the Bailey Bridge, which still proves its robustness today.

The route goes through nature reserves managed by Natuurpunt and are just a few meters from the canal. In any case, we enjoyed this walk.

Happy hiking,
Eddy, Rita, and Prinske
