Peddal pushers

The Kempen Forests
The forests between Turnhout and over into the Netherlands provide excellent bike tour or pedal cart opportunities.
With way marked routes on concrete pathways a meter Wide for all year round use.
There are plenty of bars for refreshment or you stop by the
Canal and watch the boats chug by.
If you are lucky as we were you might spot a red squirrel in the
Trees.
