Albert Canal

Highlight • River

Super nice cycle path next to the Albert Canal. This canal is 130 kilometres long and connects Liège with Antwerp. Fun fact: It was named after King Albert I and has played an important role in Belgian freight transport since 1939.

Originally built to connect steel factories and coal mines: today this canal is good for around 40 million tonnes of freight per year.

With six locks and space for ships up to 9,000 tonnes, it is an impressive piece of infrastructure!

Caestert Farm

Highlight • Historical Site

Hoeve Caestert is a farm located on the Walloon part of the Sint-Pietersberg also called Plateau van Caestert, about 250 meters south of the border with Maastricht and almost immediately adjacent to the Flemish municipality of Riemst. The farm is located in the protected area of Thier de Caster. Hoeve Caestert was part of Castle Caestert, which burned down in 1972.
Hoeve Caestert is being renovated. The Walloon Region has earmarked 3.6 million euros for this.

Kanne Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The current bridge was inaugurated on Friday, September 22, 2004, as a commemorative plaque indicates. Pedestrians don't have to walk it all the way from end to end thanks to the stairs. There are also benches on both sides of the bridge to take in the view over the water or just take a break.
