The see-through church of Borgloon.

Stands on a plateau with a beautiful panorama.
In good weather it is very busy here and you have to have a lot of patience to enter.

The architect duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh made a see-through church of Borgloon. Reading between the Lines is 10 meters high and consists of 100 stacked layers of steel plate in the shape of a Loons church. The construction weighs no less than 30 tons. The special construction method ensures that the landscape is always visible through the church, both from a distance and close up. The church is therefore present, but also absent from the landscape. (Source: VisitLimburg.be)

Whether on the road or on foot, this is a must-see. Many people want to take pictures here. Take each other into account and if you want to pose for the church, do this as short as possible.
Located between the bicycle buttons 151 and 155
Is at its best in the "golden hour" of the evening. especially when there is some moisture in the air and some veil clouds. When everyone goes home, sit patiently for a while. The beautiful moments with red sky as background will come! (We also left just too early)

A bit of off-road driving to get there.
