The Moulin du Broukay is a former flint mill on the Geer River near Eben-Emael, built in the 1950s as an industrial flint-grinding mill. It primarily served the Meuse Valley foundations but later fell into disrepair. Today, it is a renovated cultural and recreational center with a café-restaurant, meeting and function rooms, and a starting point for hiking trails in the Montagne Saint-Pierre. The area is part of the "Archéo et Géo Espaces - Moulin du Broukay," which showcases the geology, archaeology, and industrial history of the Jeker/Geer Valley.

The De Kevie nature reserve, located in the southeast of Tongeren, is not only a beautiful place for walking but also ideal for cyclists who want to enjoy the tranquility of nature and green surroundings. This expansive valley belt around the Jeker River is popular with recreational cyclists and cycle tourists, and several cycle paths and routes run through and alongside the area, forming part of the local cycling network. A popular route follows parts of the old railway line towards Nerem and skirts the edges of De Kevie, where cyclists ride on quiet unpaved paths often shared with hikers. These paths are largely free from heavy traffic, ensuring a pleasant and safe cycling experience amidst the countryside. Along these paths, you cycle through a varied landscape of meadows, valley forests, and marshlands, with the green banks of the Jeker River and the surrounding nature forming a constant backdrop. The route connections are linked to locally signposted junctions, making it possible to plan both short loops and longer tours that integrate De Kevie into broader cycling routes through the Limburg landscape, including routes that pass picturesque villages and through farmland. In addition, there are plans and projects to further improve the cycling infrastructure between Tongeren's city center and De Kevie. New cycle paths should provide a safe and comfortable connection between the city park, the allotments, and De Kevie, and connect to regional cycle routes such as the future F791 cycle highway towards Liège.

An unusual, beautiful building with many great photo opportunities.

The Alden-Biesen gazebo is a charming and historic horticultural feature that forms part of the rich heritage surrounding the Alden Biesen Commandery and the impressive castle grounds in Bilzen, Limburg. This historical garden feature dates from 1749 and is part of the estate's 18th-century rococo architecture. Originally, the gazebo was built as part of the rectory garden on land owned by the Grand Commander of Alden Biesen. Today, the gazebo, which initially functioned as a small chapel, stands in a visible and accessible location on Demerlaan after being moved from its original context and rebuilt in 1991. The gazebo has an octagonal shape with a mansard roof and a small spire, typical characteristics of 18th-century garden pavilions. It served not only as a decorative element in the garden but also as a quiet spot and a sheltered spot in the garden where one could enjoy the surroundings. Since November 16, 2022, the garden gazebo has been officially protected as a listed monument for its historical aesthetic and architectural value. This protection emphasizes the importance of this small but valuable heritage piece within the broader context of Alden-Biesen and the cultural history of the region. Today, when you stroll through the grounds or the surrounding area of Alden-Biesen, for example, through the gardens of the English Park or along the walking trails around the castle, the garden gazebo forms an atmospheric, decorative respite that invites you to reflect on the long history of garden and landscape architecture in this region. It demonstrates how carefully landscaped gardens and pavilions were once an integral part of life around a Commandery: as a place for reflection, views, and togetherness in a green setting.

You can take a 5 km tour through the corridors in the cave

Very nice location. Something major seems to have happened here over the weekend (late August 25th), and the following Monday there was a big cleanup.

Beautiful bridge over the canal
