About National Park Hoge Kempen
Admire the most beautiful panorama in Flanders and be surprised by the extraordinary landscapes. Here you cycle through purple heathland, golden dunes, endless forests and past magnificent fens. The slag heaps and shafts characterise the horizon and betray the mining past of Belgian Limburg.
