Kattenbos - orange - 7,6 km

Kattenbos is a special part of Lommel. The entire area is rich in pine woodlands that we are gradually allowing to evolve into deciduous woodland. In the center of the area, you will find 'Kattenbosser Heide,' one of the most beautiful pieces of heathland in Bosland. A rare and mysterious bird breeds here: the nightjar.

Just a stone's throw from the starting point stands the Leyssensmolen, a particularly beautiful corn mill from 1797 that was recently restored and can be visited for free every 1st Sunday and 3rd Saturday of the month between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. For the children, hidden among the trees, there is an adventurous play area with play elements by willow artist Will Beckers. You can find this play area between nodes 146 and 147.
