My Account Landscape of horse riders in Sahara Lommel reserve, stunning view of nature in autumn with golden leaves, deep forest and lake banks
(Browse the collection : Limburg province video shots and time lapse stock footage)
The Lommelse Sahara is a strange desert landscape of pure white sand planted with pine trees. It occupies an abandoned industrial site in the Kempen region where quartz sand was once mined and a polluting zinc factory killed off all the trees. This bleak wilderness was later used by a weapons manufacturer to test grenades, but it has been turned into a nature reserve, with hiking trails, an observation tower and a lake in the former quarry.
A clear blue lake adds to the wonder, although the stunning effect of the Lommel Sahara didn’t come about naturally. The strange landscape actually owes its existence to the pollution of a former zinc plant that dried up the grounds. To prevent the expansion of the sandy plains, pine forests were planted here a long time ago.
Bosland is the largest adventure forest in Flanders, where you can truly achieve peace among the trees. This unique area in northern Limburg bundles a total of twelve nature reserves. Each with its own character. Hikers, cyclists, old and young all feel completely at home here.
