Feel the sand between your toes in the Lommel Sahara, cycle through the adventurous forests of National Park Bosland, discover the rich history, and much more. During your city trip in Lommel, there’s plenty to do, but these 5 highlights are not to be missed!

Walk through the imposing House of Nature

Enter the Sahara through the monumental steel sculpture ‘House of Nature’. This impressive structure, standing 7.5 meters tall and 50 meters wide, is located on the edge of the Sahara and serves as the starting point for all hikes in the Sahara.

Climb the Giant of Bosland

If you want to see the Lommel Sahara from above, you can do so with your own eyes from the 30-meter-high observation tower. ‘The Giant of Bosland’ not only looks imposing but also offers a breathtaking view of the Lommel surroundings, up to 25 km on a clear day!

Cycle Through the Trees

An unforgettable gliding journey through the forest! This is not a dream but a reality at 'Cycling through the Trees', a unique cycling experience in the Pijnven forest of National Park Bosland. Via a double circular cycling bridge, you gradually rise to 10 meters high, where you cycle among the tree canopies. An unforgettable experience for young and old!

Admire the centuries-old Leyssens Mill

A visit to the 18th-century Leyssens Mill should not be missed during your visit to Lommel! This grain mill has a very eventful history—quite literally. Every last Sunday of May, the mill is celebrated during the Mill Festivals.
