On a radiant autumn day in 1954, the then-small residents of De Bisselt lined up on the Bisseltsebaan. A colorful procession approached from Bethanië, today known as Jachtslot de Mookerheide, with the Maastricht statue of Mary Star of the Sea at its center. It was carried by several young people from De Bisselt, accompanied by the then-Bishop Lemmens of Roermond. The bishop visited the parishes of his diocese with this statue. But De Bisselt had no chapel or church, even though residents desired one. The bishop heard about it and decided to visit De Bisselt in 1954. The Maastricht statue was then placed in a makeshift chapel of pine branches and autumn leaves, accompanied by prayer and song, including the song "O Star of the Sea." Local residents had previously placed a cross and flowers at the temporary resting place of a German soldier who had died in this neighborhood at the end of World War II. The chapel, which took shape after Bishop Lemmens's visit, has been maintained by local residents for years, but remains temporary. Construction finally began in late 2013 on a small, new, contemporary forest chapel that is recognizable and will stand the test of time. Source and more information: www.boskapeldebiesselt.nl

You have a beautiful view here

Beautiful viewpoint over the lake

Beautiful heathland here, and a good view of the surroundings. You can see far in clear weather.

A small viewpoint near the Les Copères cliffs. Getting there requires a bit of surefootedness and sturdy footwear.

Beautiful cliffs on the Meuse River opposite Freÿr Castle. The walk along the narrow paved path along the banks of the Meuse River below the overhanging cliff is quite adventurous. There's a beautiful vantage point on the cliff with a beautiful view of the Meuse and Freÿr Castle.

The castle is located in the charming Ardennes landscape between Waulsort and Dinant, directly on the banks of the Meuse River. It was built on the ruins of an old fortress that was destroyed in 1554. Originally a Renaissance-style manor house, it was enlarged and modified in the 17th and 18th centuries. This former summer residence of the Counts de Beaufort-Spontin boasts a refined and cosmopolitan interior. Its salons were furnished and decorated by the 20 generations who have lived there…here, history comes alive in a magnificent setting. The castle's beautiful classical gardens and their orange trees, some 300 years old, are considered an exceptional heritage of the Parks & Gardens of Wallonia. Their design was inspired by the work of Louis XIV's gardeners at Versailles. Stroll through the labyrinth of arcades and head to the foot of the charming Trianon. The well-structured beauty of these gardens offers a distinctive contrast to the wooded slopes and steep cliffs surrounding the valley. Dogs are allowed here, on a leash, and only in the gardens, not in the castle building. Source: https://visitwallonia.de/de/produit/schloss-freyr-und-seine-garten/9559?cookie_lang=de
