In April 2016 ‘Cycling through Water’ opened, an inspiring cycling trail through a pond of the De Wijers nature reserve in Bokrijk-Genk. Barely four months later, 100,000 cyclists had already visited the cycling trail. The project has given a boost to the entire region. ‘Cycling Through Water’ was even selected for TIME’s 2018 list of the World’s 100 Greatest Places.
