Abbey, inn, and brewery Achelse Kluis

The Abbey of St. Benedict of Achel, officially called the Abbey of Our Lady of La Trappe, popularly known as the Achelse Kluis, is a former Cistercian abbey located partly on Belgian and partly on Dutch territory; the Belgian part in the municipality of Hamont-Achel, the Dutch part in the municipality of Heeze-Leende.
The abbey was known, among other things, for the beer of the same name, Achel, which has been brewed in its own brewery since 1998.
Very large beer garden with covered, but also sunny, places.

If you want to get an Achels beer at the Abbey, the shop is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays

Achelse Kluis, just south of the Belgian-Dutch border, is a monastery, best known for its brewery where the famous Achel beers are brewed. The Abbey is therefore not only an interesting historical place to stop, but there is also an inn where it is nice to stop for a well-deserved snack and monastery beer. The water bottle can also be refilled here.

Also interesting is the replica of the death wire on the border north of the abbey. The death wire was a deadly border fence built by the Germans between the Netherlands and Belgium during the First World War, intended to stop Belgian and other refugees at the border of the then neutral Netherlands.
