The marl caves of Heers are an important hibernation site for numerous bats, including the Bechstein's bat, the Notched Bat, and the Pond Bat. Bat-friendly barriers were installed at the entrances to the caves. In 2014, the Waterkuil was closed off with a steel gate, in which bat silhouettes serve as flight openings. This elegant barrier was designed by Heers artist Frans Vandueren. Initial winter counts already showed that the gate is having an effect.

Mistletoe loves trees, in fact, they cannot live without them because they are semi-parasites. The mistletoe takes nutrients and water from the tree and will weaken the tree in times of water shortage. But if the tree dies, the life of the mistletoe is also over, while this plant can live up to 50 years. Usually the tree can live with the mistletoe for a while. (Natuurpunt)

It is a bit of a mystical place there in Vechmaal. Located along a quiet walking path, you suddenly notice a deep pit, with three entrances to caves, marl caves in fact, shielded with artistic metal plates containing openings in bat profiles, designed by architect Frans Vandueren. No coincidence. Because these caves provide access to the remains of a 90 million year old sea and are particularly suitable as a hibernation site for bats, one of the most important in our region. So rest is requested. This does not mean that you cannot visit them at certain times.

Hex Castle is one of the most beautiful and best preserved estates in Belgium. The castle is attributed to the Liège architect Etienne Fayn and dates from around 1775. It was built as a hunting lodge for Prince-Bishop François-Charles de Velbrück. It is surrounded by period gardens, a vegetable garden with an original vegetable cellar and a landscape park by Louis Fuchs, known for its collection of old and wild roses and age-old exotics. The annual garden days/plant fair are an opportunity for many to meet friends and colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere - and in the exceptional setting of these historic gardens - to discover special plants and to seek advice from growers and specialists.

Here is a tree with slightly more mistletoe than in other trees in the immediate vicinity. Those who have a thing for mistletoe will certainly get their money's worth in this region. Mistletoe is usually bound to calcareous soils, which is why you will find so many in the region of Tongeren, South Limburg and the like. But in recent years there has been a clear expansion of mistletoe to the Kempen without that traditional link with calcareous soils.

The castle of Heks is a Belgian castle, located in the village of Heks (part of Heers) in the province of Limburg. The palatial castle was built from 1770, probably by the Liège architect Etienne Fayen, for the Prince-Bishop of Liège Franciscus Karel de Velbrück. As a lover of nature, the Prince-Bishop chose this place in the slightly hilly Haspengouw to build his summer residence and pleasure garden. He had a Chinese garden, a rose garden and a vegetable garden laid out there. Later, the castle was embellished with one of the first landscape parks on the European mainland, inspired by the English garden architecture of Capability Brown. He died on his estate in 1784. The estate is owned by the d'Ursel family. The rose garden now (2004) has an exceptional assortment of rose varieties, the oldest of which were present in the original garden. The gardens and park are open to the public during the first weekend in June and the second weekend in September. The castle features in Harry Kümel's 1968 film Monsieur Hawarden.
