As well as ‘Cycling through Water’ in Bokrijk and ‘Cycling through the Trees’ in Bosland, Visit Limburg opened its third major cycling experience in July 2021: ‘Cycling through the Heathland’ in Hoge Kempen National Park, a cycle path of 4 km, cuts through the national park in Belgium. The new, iconic wooden cycle bridge, which is 300 m long, stands out as a feature in the landscape and leads you to a stunning, panoramic view.

The route forms the connection between the cycle nodes 550 and 551. It's an exceptional connection because you cycle right through the Mechelse Heide which, at 700 hectares, is one of the largest areas of heathland in Flanders.

Just 10 km from Hasselt, the capital of Limburg, lies the authentic ‘Bistrot Prêt-à-Goûter’. Set amidst lush greenery, we offer cuisine made with fresh, local and international ingredients, served in a cosy and friendly atmosphere. With guest accommodation.

Art, heritage and scenery: three ingredients that make for a surprising cultural visit to Borgloon and all come together in the PIT project 'Art in Open Space'.

This artistic project is unique to Flanders and allows passers-by and visitors to look at the environment differently. Through the artworks, you can discover the many stories hidden in nature.

One of the eye-catchers of the PIT project is the see-through church by the Belgian architect duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh. 'Reading Between the Lines' is a construction of ten metres high and consists of one hundred stacked layers of steel positioned in the shape of a small church of Borgloon. The unique way of construction causes the landscape to always be visible through the church.

Other artworks that belong to the PIT project are 'Memento', 'Untitled #58', 'Tranendreef', 'Field Furniture "Pure Nature"', and 'Twijfelgrens'.

At the tourist office Visit Tongeren-Borgloon, you can ask for a hiking guide free of charge.

Where to find ‘Cycling between Terrils’? configuration options
This remarkable bridge is located in Belgian Limburg. You can cycle or walk across the large Terhills lake between the two mining terrils. Along the way, enjoy a phenomenal 360° panoramic view.

Z33 brings art to the public space of Limburg and Flanders with unique projects. At the intersection between art, architecture and landscape, visitors get an unusual view of their surroundings.

The artworks in the landscapes between Borgloon-Heers or Hasselt-Genk make passers-by and visitors look differently at the surroundings. After all, the landscape contains many stories that are not always immediately visible. All artists anticipate the landscape and the local context in a special way.

In the period between 2022 and 2024, five new artworks will appear in the Limburg Meuse Valley (Dilsen-Stokkem, Kinrooi, Lanaken, Maaseik, Maasmechelen).

The town hall is the signboard of the city government as well as the home for every citizen of Tongeren-Borgloon. But what is a town hall and what was it for? Why is there one in Tongeren and why on this very spot? You will discover the answers to these questions during your visit.

The new town hall was built on the site of the destroyed cloth hall. Perhaps the town hall was designed by Liège architect Pascal Barbier. The Liège style shines through in the architecture of the building and the typical combination of blue stone and red chalk. The Tongres town hall also bears many similarities to other buildings attributed to Barbier such as the Prince-Bishop's Palace in Seraing (1724) and the abbot's house of Saint-Laurent in Liège (1727). Today, the town hall is located on a beautiful open square.
Take a guided tour of the town hall. Make your request via Visit Tongeren-Borgloon.

Traces of histories

On the outside, did you see the eight marble spheres on the town hall façade? It is a work of art by Belgian artist Wesley Meuris (1977). Using the marble spheres and a legend a little further down the square, Meuris gives meaning to the physical gaps you see today and leaves room for other (potential) historical narratives.

Saint James Guesthouse Chapel
This chapel from 1660 belonged to St James' Guesthouse, a stopping place for pilgrims. Here you will find the statue of Saint Agnes, a female figure in 3D inspired by the work of Jan van Eyck, as well as the Baroque funerary monument (1697) designed by Liège artist Jean Delcour for Maria de Berchem, countess de Hinnisdael, and her husband Frans van Hinnisdael, lord of Betho.

Teseum
Here you can admire an ensemble of fourteen reliquaries from the 15th and 16th centuries, a choir cap buckle, the silver processional cross, the reliquary with the veil of Our Lady and the reliquary busts of Saint Pinosa (Hendrik van Tongeren, c. 1400) and Saint Olivia.

Beguinage museum Beghina
On the idyllic little square Onder de Linde, an authentic house from 1660 houses the Beguinage Museum Beghina. Slowly hurry to this UNESCO World Heritage Site and admire the centuries-old St Catherine shrine, specially made for the beguinage.

Basilica of Our Lady
In Our Lady's Basilica, you will find the statue of Mary Cause of Our Joy, made of walnut. The statue's coronation in 1890 marked the start of the Coronation celebrations. These take place every seven years and are part of an important tradition for the people of Tongres, who participate in them en masse. Discover the processions and richly decorated streets with us in 2030!

St Stephen's Church in 's Herenelderen
In this church, visit the reliquary of several saints. Admire the chest of effigies in the choir of the church. Perhaps a remnant of that divine power still lurks in it.

St. Martin's church
Berg's first church is said to have been built on the foundations of a pagan temple and was dedicated to St Martin, the son of a Roman tribune. Originally Romanesque, the church took on a Gothic character over the following centuries. Accordingly, the south aisle houses a late Gothic statue of Saint Martin, from the 17th century, and a unique 15th-century ‘trabes’ or ‘apostle beam,’ a Romanesque element.
