De 20 beste innsjøene rundt Zonhoven

Sykkelstien gjennom vannet fører syklister over en 212 meter lang og tre meter bred betongvei, med vann på øyehøyde på begge sider. Svaner og andre vannfugler svømmer langs bredden og ser nysgjerrig på syklistene. Siden åpningen har interessen for denne unike sykkelstien vært enorm. I gjennomsnitt utforsker 800 besøkende per dag denne uforglemmelige delen av Limburgs sykkelnettverk, med topper på lørdager og søndager, og på enkelte dager til og med opptil 5000 syklister.

Breathtaking panorama in good weather

Beautiful view (open air) from the platform.

Beautiful nature reserve. Be sure to bring your binoculars so you can spot everything here. Also bring a sun hat and sunscreen because there are many open areas.

The cycle path leads you straight through a pond, all the way from one bank to the other. In the middle, the water is at eye level on either side. You feel, see and smell the water. A beautiful and unique view of this piece of nature. When you watch from a distance, it is funny to see all those heads passing by on the surface of the water. Even though it is called 'Cycling through the Water' in Bokrijk, the path is accessible to walkers and joggers. (VisitLimburg)

Climb the adjacent slag heap along the north side and descend via the south side 🤭. Not suitable for children, weak leg muscles and fear of heights. For adventurous people. Be sure to wear sturdy footwear.

From the slag heap you have a view over this waterhole, and a passage along it also adds to its appeal...

The observation tower was designed by the Ghent-based architectural firm Architecten Delobelle. It is situated in the wooded edge of one of the ponds and offers a view of the hundreds of ponds in the surrounding area. To minimize the impact on the natural environment, they used natural materials, colors, and hues that integrate seamlessly with the green surroundings. In the nature reserve, the observation tower constantly appears in a changing form, with the galvanized steel, wood, and thatch blending seamlessly into the surroundings. The fish, the icon of the Wijers, served as inspiration for the tower. The observation tower leaps out of the water like a "fish gasping for air." https://www.cgconcept.be/uitkijktorens-in-de-natuur-video/ Fact: Originally, the observation tower was intended to be 30 meters tall.
