Cycle Bridge Tureluur - Observation point

Discover this unique piece of nature and engineering in De Dennen forest area, where cycling and nature come together along a beautifully meandering path.

What makes the Cycle Bridge Tureluur so special?

• Cycling experience in nature: The three-metre-wide bridge takes you right through the nature reserves Tureluur and Schettersweid, offering stunning views of water, dunes, and meadows along the way.
• Unique design: This 1.7-kilometre cycle route, from Grensweg to Botgrasweg, winds gracefully through the landscape and is designed to retain rainwater longer – an important feature for the nature in the area.
• Natural beauty: Along the way, you can spot rare plants such as bog pimpernel, marsh lousewort, and sundew – special species thriving in this moist dune landscape.
• Peace and space: The route is a wonderful place for a relaxing cycle ride or a quiet break in the midst of nature. With a bit of luck, you might even spot meadow birds or the redshank itself!

Practical tips
