온더방켄‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 자전거 공원

Former hunting lodge, then monastery and elderly care facility and currently (2022) campus for international sports talent. Huis Watersley was built in the mid-18th century as a hunting lodge for the Maastricht family Loyens-Delhougne. In 1876, it passed to a German monastic order and was sold shortly afterwards to a Franciscan Order, who extensively renovated the building to establish a grammar school. In the centuries that followed, Huis Watersley was further expanded and added to, until the Paulus Foundation (later Stichting Pergamijn) housed care for people with intellectual disabilities in the stately building in 1967, after which they also decided to sell it again after a merger. Finding a new purpose for the 30-hectare site, which includes the former monastery with monastery chapel, various homes and an apartment building, was not easy, but with the establishment and expansion of an international campus for sports talent, the beautiful domain has found a future again. On the estate you will find challenging and beautiful MTB trails.

Not all trails at Watersley that Komoot indicates are passable.

Beautiful park with a pond where you can fish and ride a pedal boat.

Super nice cycle path through the Schutterpark and along the beautiful pond.

Beautifully renovated monastery with cozy tasting room

Ideal practice for mountain bikers to train their technique

A pretty monastery complex nestled in beautiful surroundings.

The path along the talent park becomes a gravel path in the direction of Selfkant
