Hechtel-Eksel

Things to do in Hechtel-Eksel

Pedal to unprecedented heights with the 'Cycling through the Trees' cycling experience in National Park Bosland. The iconic circular cycle bridge gradually takes you up to 10 metres in height, with your nose close to the treetops. So you see, feel and smell the forest from a sensory perspective.

Nationaal Park Bosland, that's endless space for walking, playing and relaxing. In nature reserve In den Brand you stroll around in the largest sandpit in Flanders. At the top of the land dunes, you have a great view of the surroundings.

Looking for a real forest pool? Then Pijnven is the place to be. The area is dotted with playing meadows, climbing and scrambling facilities and camp spots. In short, one giant play forest. Or how about a game of Discgolf? It is also great to trot along the unpaved paths with your horse. The equestrian loops are easy to combine and connect to the provincial network.

Resterheide has 3 child-friendly walks on offer, one of which is also accessible for buggies and wheelchairs.
