    Hiking

    The chapel of the Secret Army in the Munsterbos recalls the former hiding place and execution site of members of the resistance movement. This location along the Weerstandspad (Resistance Path) was the refuge of approximately 800 resistance fighters from the Bilzen - Genk – Kortessem region. Three of these resisters from Bilzen were executed here in the nearby vicinity on September 5 and 7, 1944, just a few days before the liberation. The annual commemoration takes place every second Sunday in September.
