Hiking

The Thier de Caster is a protected historical area in the Belgian municipality of Visé. The area is in the southern part of the Sint-Pietersberg in the Plateau van Caestert on the plateau's steep eastern slope to the Meuse Valley, west of Klein-Ternaaien. It is characterized by the Maaswand slope with numerous marl quarries in it.

Hiking

Here you can see the central part (the lake) of the nature reserve from above. The Lanaye spawning grounds were created at the end of the 1980s to compensate for the disappearance of the Petit-Gravier spawning grounds during an extension of the lock complex. A new hiking trail was also constructed here at the beginning of 2024, where sustainable tourism and nature conservation should go hand in hand. As far as I'm concerned, it's already a success.
