There is usually not much to do with water towers, but they are of course very important and, in my opinion, also fascinating. Each water tower has an architecture (and therefore architect) and place in the landscape, where they are often located on the highest points. This is also the case in Bertem. With a capacity of 7000 cubic meters and a height of 31 meters, the water tower was built in 1968. On the website of De Watergroep you can find a PDF with all the water towers.

Water tower in the middle of Bertembos, next to the Hunting Lodge. Not much to do, but an easy landmark to orient yourself.
