Riding a bike has direct impact in protecting environment and trees. The relation between bicycles and trees is expressed to a higher degree at the Bosland National Park (Belgium). Here, not only you can pedal close to trees, but also close to its leaves. This is due to a special bike line between Lommel, Hechtel-Eksen and Pelt known as Fietsen door de Bomen or Cyclign through the Trees. This massive bike circle has a slope of 3% – 4%, is 700 meters long and one 3 meters unidirectional line.

The perfect integration of this infrastructure and nature makes the experience magical. Its designers tell proud that they had in mind flora and fauna respect to determine the bike line. Additional technical issues like the use of minimal machine in the national park or the final ensemble were also put into practice. A metal mesh protects bikers from falling from the top of the bike line.
