👉 "Fietsen door het Water" – cycling at eye level …

Started in Zonhoven at the Dorpsplein, where free parking is also available. From there on the opposite side out of the roundabout and immediately left into the Eikenenpad via junction 92 to the start of KP 305. The route is almost completely car-free and there are a number of passages on gravel and forest paths that are easy to drive …

Today 🌞 a beautiful tour from Bokrijk "cycled through the water" 🦆 and through the surrounding lake landscape🏖.
As it looked like rain at the end of the tour, we quickly packed the bikes 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ onto the car 🚙 🚚 🚗 and headed off to Kornelimünster to the Krebsloch 😋 to end the day.
