  • The bike path through two ponds in northern Belgium

In the De Wijers nature reserve in northern Belgium, cyclists pedal through a 200-meter-long bike path separating two ponds. The attraction, called "Cycling through water", draws hundreds of cyclists and walkers every day and provides a chance to seek relief from the summer heat. Constructed in 2016, the route provides an unusual sensation to visitors as they find themselves at eye level with the water.
