Station As is a former railway station on lines 21A (Hasselt-As) and 21B (As-Eisden). The station building now houses a restaurant and the Kolenspoorvereniging (Coal Railway Association) uses it for the operation of the tourist railway line Waterschei-As-Eisden.

Hoge Kempen lookout tower (As)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful section where the bike path is a little narrower (by Belgian standards). You drive along the tracks of a narrow-gauge railway, at a memorial in honor of a crashed Lancaster and at a lookout tower.
