Land Commandery Alden Biesen

Description

Departure: parking Landcommandery Alden Biesen - Kasteelstraat 6 - Bilzen-Hoeselt

The castle gardens are freely accessible; there is only an entrance fee for visiting the castle itself. We make a loop around the castle domain and head towards the ring road. After crossing the bridge, we follow the route of the old tram line, which leads us over the Katteberg to the center of Bilzen.

There, we walk through the Haffmanspark with its picturesque water mill. Via the sports fields and the De Kimpel swimming pool, we return. Here, there is an opportunity for a sanitation stop.

Then, we continue along the educational children's farm, and after passing under the ring road, we find ourselves in a beautiful piece of nature. Unfortunately, in this part of the walk, the background noise of the ring road remains audible. The path along the Demer is particularly beautiful, but can be muddy and boggy in wet periods — suitable footwear is therefore recommended.
