In the south-west of Limburg lies Sint-Truiden, the spicy fruit city where nature, heritage and regional delicacies blend wonderfully. Around the Grote Markt of this monumental city, three towers are the silent witnesses of a rich past. In spring, the surrounding church villages are bathed in blossoms. This b(l)owling region tastes like more.
