Be charmed by the watery landscape in Mol and Dessel: a unique mix of water, sand and greenery. From the banks of the canal lake you step towards the quarry and nature reserve Schansheide. From the viewing hill you look out over the sand quarries, the sand refining factory and the surrounding heathland landscape. Still have energy? Then be sure to climb the Sas4 tower. You will be rewarded with a 360° panorama.

*This route won the 'Hike of the Year' award in 2023.

With attractions: the Schansheide quarry, the Sas 4 tower, the Bailey bridge and Zilvermeerhaven.
Horeca to be found at Zilvermeerhaven, Sas 3 and Sas 4.
