House of Nature

Enter the Sahara through the monumental steel sculpture "House of Nature. This imposing structure, 7.5 meters high and 50 meters wide, can be found at the edge of the Sahara and is the starting point of all Saharan walks.

From House of Nature depart several hiking trails that take you through sandy plains, past mirrored pools of water and quiet pine forests of the Sahara nature reserve. The trails vary in distance and difficulty, so there is a suitable hike for everyone. 

Landscape art by Will Beckers

Artist Will Beckers created this landscape work as Lommel's gateway to Bosland National Park. Like an organic form, House of Nature is intertwined with the surrounding nature. You can step into the artwork through a passageway shaped like a human being. The gigantic art installation is constructed entirely of steel; the outside consists of thousands of steel plates, which were welded together in a rhythmic distribution.

Multifunctional reception area

House of Nature is more than just a work of art. It is the ideal starting or resting place during your exploration of Lommel's nature. There is a cozy picnic area, a green forest room and chairs with stylized drawings of animals living in National Park Bosland. Visitors can also park their bikes there and riders can rest their horses.

A buggy-friendly walking and experience path guides you from the parking lot to the entrance gate. The path consists of sculptures that seem to blend into the landscape. Tree trunks are used to create a climbing and scrambling course for children.
