Sahara - orange - 5,7 km

Anyone hiking here feels like they are in the desert... The Sahara was rightly chosen in 2018 as the most beautiful hike in the country! The large, bright blue water pond appears like a mirage on the sandy plain. The fresh water attracts many waterfowl.

The surrounding coniferous woods and some architectural highlights nearby make this a very special hike. Be sure to climb the unique lookout tower for a beautiful view over Nationaal Park Bosland. For children, there is a mysterious play area with natural play elements made of willow branches, created by artist Will Beckers.

Our tips:

• Bring a picnic and have lunch at the playful picnic tables. Zeno the Sand Dune Beetle takes children on a discovery tour in the sand!
• Between March 15 and October 15, you can borrow a free hammock at the desk of the event hall De Soeverein: hang it on a tree and just relax!
• Tip for children! Looking for the treasure of King Lion, this route is free to access. You can choose between a short route of 3.5 km suitable for strollers or the longer adventure route of 7.8 km. The treasure hunt starts at the gravel parking Lossingsweg (by the canal). More information about King Lion can be found on the website of www.visitlommel.be.
