Shelter but also an open place for a picnic with several benches in an ideal place where various walking paths meet the cycle path (via a bridge) in the middle of various sights such as the ruins of the Waag, the geological garden, burial mounds, the fitness trail and so on. more at a relatively short distance from the Achelse Tomp.

The Waag is an ideal stop for hiking enthusiasts: several Warmbeek Valley walks pass by this historic site and offer a wonderful blend of nature and culture. Several picnic benches, some covered and some open, invite you to take a break and enjoy the scenery.
