Landmarks

Our unique landscape played an important role in the history of our region. The most tracks of the past are disappeared or cannot be recognized anymore. Now we find all the information, in pictures and text, on the Landmarks, information cubes spinning on border community posts.

Some locations have already received an extra construction, like the Irish Cross in Lafelt, where an audio presentation in open air brings the bloody Battle of Lafelt back to life.

Picknicken - picknick aan kasteel

Picnic

There are many delightful picnic spots in and around Bilzen and especially Alden Biesen, that you can use the whole year round. Just take a seat at one of the brand-new picnic tables in the English park, sit on the lawn with a view of the castle, or choose your picnic spot in the largest orchard in Flanders.
A path of about 2 km enables even persons with reduced mobility to enjoy the fruit trees in their full splendour. They can explore them up close using the raised wooden footpath that winds its way through the orchard.
You can bring your own picnic or you can order a basket from the Bilzen Tourist Information Centre carefully composed of the most delicious local products (to be collected during opening hours of the Tourist Information Centre).

A water paradise for anyone who loves the sun and water!

Then there’s also the wave pool, water playground, waterslide, fast-flowing river, water cannon and fountains.
