The provincial capital Hasselt is located in the heart of Limburg. Together with Zonhoven, this region has everything for a successful outing: the ambience of a bustling city centre with the greenery and tranquillity of nature just a stone's throw away.

Hasselt's city centre consists of a mix of shopping streets with exclusive boutiques and well-known brands, tasty eateries and terraces, museums, heritage and cultural pearls, all within walking distance. With Quartier Bleu, Hasselt has a hip city quarter where it is pleasant to linger by the water.

The Albert Canal cuts through this region. Via the towpaths, you enter the nature of De Wijers, a pond area that stretches across Central Limburg with Zonhoven as its beating heart. Forests, ponds and heathland form the backdrop to your walking or cycling tour.
