The Commanderie is a textbook example of the Maasland Renaissance style, recognizable by: brick construction combined with Namur stone; straight, symmetrical volumes; decorative tiers of brick; a closed, almost monastic courtyard.

This 380-meter pontoon bridge guides you gracefully between the slag heaps and across the water. Along the way, you'll be treated to a stunning 360° experience with views of the glistening water and the green slag heaps. "Cycling & Walking among the Slag Heaps" is a unique experience when visiting Hoge Kempen National Park!

From this vantage point in the Mechelse Heide, you have a magnificent view of the green fields, rolling hills, and the lake nestled in the heart of the nature reserve. The view combines landscape and water, creating a uniquely atmospheric and photogenic panorama. The lake was created as part of the Mechelse Heide nature management program and provides a valuable habitat for waterfowl, amphibians, and other water-loving animals. Grasslands and hedgerows surround the water, giving the area character and lending the landscape a typical Voeren charm.

Commanderie Castle is one of the most historically significant buildings in the region. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages: as early as the 13th century, a settlement of the Teutonic Knights existed here, from which the name "Commanderie" is derived. The castle was not only a stately residence but also an administrative and economic center for the surrounding lands. The complex is surrounded by a moat and has been rebuilt and expanded several times over the centuries. A characteristic feature is the combination of medieval foundations with later Renaissance and Baroque elements. Particularly striking are the picturesque courtyard, the historic farm buildings, and the castle grounds surrounded by avenues and meadows. After the end of the Order's rule, the property passed into private hands and was used for agricultural purposes for a time. Today, Commanderie Castle is privately owned but parts of it are used for cultural and tourist activities. The castle represents the eventful history of the border region between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany and reflects the influence of religious orders of knights on the cultural landscape of this region.

At carefully chosen locations, well-considered interventions have been made in the landscape, allowing you to experience the surroundings from a different perspective. Here, along the tailings, "Cycling between the Tailings" unfolds. This cycling and walking bridge floats elegantly over the water, its flowing and organic spiral shape providing a 360-degree view of the landscape and heritage, telling the stories of the mines and the gravel and sand extraction. It is an invitation to further explore the Hoge Kempen National Park. Cycling between the slag heaps transcends its function as a functional cycling and walking route. It is a Limburg bridge connecting nature and heritage, between Limburg's rich past and promising future. The bridge is a technical feat. A length of 380 meters is spanned by 28 interconnected concrete floating pontoon elements, each 13 meters long. The bridge is anchored underwater to 15 steel tubular piles, each 1 meter in diameter and weighing 8 to 11 tons, which extend to a depth of 24 to 26 meters.

A great example of cycling tourism by Visit Limburg, a unique experience that will leave you speechless.
