Lanaye Lock

Highlight • Monument

From fort Eben Emael you can see how big this lock of Klein Ternaaien actually is. There are many cycling routes that pass here, towards Visé and also on the other side along the Albert canal to Kanne.

Albert Canal Towpath at Kanne

Highlight • Cycleway

You arrive at a towpath along the Albert Canal, nice view to the steep rock wall in which a bunker has been made that is part of the fortress Eben-Emael. You imagine yourself somewhere in the south of France, although you are in Belgium but you are only 5 km from Maastricht, very nice bike ride.

Vroenhoven Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Bridge of Vroenhoven is a museum in the Belgian town of Vroenhoven. The museum traces the history of the bridge during the early days of the Second World War, including the experiences of the soldiers in the bunker at the bridge over the Albert Canal and the attack of the Belgian airmen, seven of whom were killed during an attack on the bridge . It was a phase in the capture of the nearby fortress of Eben-Emael.

Attention is also paid to inland shipping, the canals and the life of animals and plants in them. In addition to a cafeteria, there is a meeting or event room for 150 to 1500 people and an open-air auditorium.

Schoonbeek Moated Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Renaissance castle, built in a U-shape, has a large garden. Next to the castle there is a pond that flows into a moat, over which a drawbridge leads to the entrance gate.

The oldest core of the castle dates back to the Middle Ages: in 1333 the castle belonged to the county of Loon.
