With luck, spot a deer?!

Here, at the gallows, you are at the highest point in Helshoven. The artwork 'Helsh(ea)ven' by Frits Jeuris, known to most as the 'floating chapel', invites you to enjoy that landscape and the work itself. It is made from cherry tree wood. At the end of 2016, the 50-year-old high-stemmed trees in Helshoven had to be cut down due to a viral disease, Little Cherry, which causes tasteless cherries. The gallows represents death. Dead trees. And the dead person. And then there are the trees that are given a second life in the artwork, the floating chapel. An end, a beginning, a view, between heaven and Helshoven, inviting reflection, looking and of course what the work is best known for: that strange image of a chapel that seems to float.

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.

The Pomperik and the Dorpsbemden are sometimes referred to together as the Dorpsbemden-Pomperik nature reserve. However, the Pomperik is primarily known as a fish pond. The surroundings of the pond are beautifully maintained and it is a good place to relax after or before you go to the flora-rich meadows of the Dorpsbemden or to the Dautenwijers. The chance that there are fishermen is of course great. Some parts may not be fished, where you can see colorful water lilies in the summer, for example. Also pay attention to the water feature on the other side of the walking path with sometimes beautiful vegetation. For example, one was full of beautiful pearl feather herb, also known as diamond herb, which is an exotic that normally grows in subtropical areas but is unfortunately very invasive.

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.
