This route takes you from Asten-Heusden past the four special cycling projects in the Belgian province of Limburg:
- Cycling through the Trees (National Park Bosland),
- Cycling through the Water (Domain Bokrijk),
- Cycling through the Heath (north of Zutendaal),
- Cycling between the Mine Spoils (near Lanklaar, formerly known as Cycling over the Water).

From Asten-Heusden, you primarily cycle along bike paths next to main roads to Maarheeze. From the hamlet of Cranendonck, bike paths alongside main roads are avoided as much as possible. Via Gastel, you cross the border and cycle through the Beverbeekse Woods. You then follow a bike path for 4 km along the former tram line between Pelt and Valkenswaard, before cycling briefly along the Bocholt-Herentals Canal. Through the outskirts of Pelt, you cycle to Lindelhoeve and dive into the Pine Forest Reserve Pijnven over separated bike paths. And then you arrive after 57 km at Cycling through the Trees. 

Next, you go around Hechtel-Eksel and get onto the fast cycle path F74 Pelt - Hasselt transitioning into the Coal Path (a bike path over a former railway line that connected the earlier 7 mine sites). You cycle past the nature reserve De Teut and the nature reserve Molenheide. Then you reach Domain Bokrijk, where you are served "Cycling through the Water" after 97 km. You then cycle through the village of Bokrijk and along the nature area De Maten towards Genk. A passage through the southern part of Genk with a bike path beside main roads is unavoidable (a 3 km stretch), after which you cycle alternately through forested areas and shorter stretches of main road to Zutendaal. You leave Zutendaal along a good bike path next to the main road to then after 120 km cycle north of Zutendaal at Cycling through the Heath (a raised bridge structure that is supposed to give you a view of the heath landscape). You then cycle car-free through the Mechelse Heath. Next, you get onto the Steenweg to As, where you follow a bike path along this main road for 3 km, before cycling many kilometers on separated bike paths through the Mechelse Heath. You also descend a steep edge and then arrive after 133 km at the fourth and final cycling project: Cycling between the Mine Spoils.

After that, you cycle a few kilometers on a bike path along the main road, then climb to the Kempens Plateau, descend again, and then cycle car-free along nature area Bergerven. You face a climb over the ridge just north of the Bergerven and through Waterloos and the forests south of Opitter, you arrive in Opitter. Next, you cycle via Tongerlo (note: due to the restructuring of the village center of Tongerlo, roads here may be closed until the summer of 2025) towards Kinrooij and Molenbeersel, but you avoid these villages via quiet rural roads. Then you cycle back into the Netherlands and through Ell, Kelpen-Oler, and Ospel, you return to Asten-Heusden.
