Icon description route Description

Beautiful varied walk that starts at the parking lot of the place 'Blauwe Kei' in Lommel. The route runs along the Beverlo canal, the Waaltjesbos, and the canal from Bocholt to Herentals.

Fun fact about the Waaltjesbos: On the border between Mol and Balen, in the municipality of Lommel, lies the young Waaltjesbos, which covers an area of 205 hectares. The forest is named after the large group of Walloon migrants who settled in this area around 1800 in search of work in the local industry. The Waaltjesbos is mainly dedicated to quiet recreation; cyclists and walkers can enjoy in all serenity this part of the Bosland National Park, one of the four Flemish parks.
