Picnicking at the House of Nature
Start your nature adventure with a picnic at the House of Nature. This impressive artwork by Will Beckers is not only a striking landmark but also the gateway to Bosland National Park. Around the imposing steel structure, you'll find several picnic tables and the starting point for stunning hikes in the Lommel Sahara, including the blue family-friendly trail that passes by the play forest. Perfect for an active picnic with the kids!
Resting at the historic Leyssensmolen
In the green heart of Kattenbos, you'll find the Leyssensmolen, a beautiful grain mill with an idyllic picnic spot. Here, you can enjoy a snack with a view of the mill and the surrounding nature.

Combine your picnic with the butterfly walk or a treasure hunt for the Golden Garden of the Pharaoh.
