Description by the author

With this cycling route, you explore the northern part of the Hoge Kempen National Park. You start in Oudsbergen, in the Dunes Belt area, a forested area known for its sandy hills. Through Opglabbeek and As, you wind your way through a varied landscape of bushes, stream valleys, and meadows.

At As Station, artistic graffiti adorns train carriages at the old station site along the Coal Route. You cycle straight towards Terhills, where 'Cycling between the Mine Spoils' offers an impressive piece of cycling infrastructure. The floating bike bridge takes you from the twin spoil tip to the panoramic spoil tip across the gravel pond, a unique construction of its kind. The mining site itself calls for a short stop and a climb of one of the head frames.

Along the Zuid-Willemsvaart, you cycle to the hidden gem of Bergerven, where wild grazers greet you along expansive water bodies. You follow the flow of the Bosbeek through a wooded area back to the starting point near the Oudsberg, where you conclude this varied route.
