Fietsen door de Bomen, Bicycle bridge in Hechtel-Eksel, Belgium
The cycling path rises ten meters above ground level through a double circular structure spanning 700 meters within Bosland National Park forest.
The Fietsen door de Bomen bicycle bridge opened in June 2019 as a result of collaboration between Visit Limburg, Flemish government, and local authorities.
The structure incorporates Corten steel pillars that mirror the surrounding pine forest, creating an integration between infrastructure and natural environment.
Visitors can access the bicycle bridge from junction 272 of the cycling network, with free parking available at Kiefhoekstraat 16 in Hechtel-Eksel.
The elevated path allows cyclists to experience the forest canopy at tree height while following a double circular route through the woods.
