Tongeren, Vechmaal and Borgloon

The first attraction on the route is Betho Castle. This castle was built in the thirteenth century. The castle farm consists of two parts and has four wings. The wings are built in a classicist style and have a southern corner tower that was built in the fifteenth century. The other parts of the castle were thoroughly modified in the seventeenth century, which is why rococo elements can be found in the current castle. From here you cycle to Chateau de Hex. The adjacent park is particularly special, which is one of the first designed gardens on the continent. The park is still almost untouched to this day and has exactly the same appearance as it did 300 years ago. At the castle you will also find a beautiful rose garden with the most diverse roses. The last attraction on the route is Rullingen Castle. This castle was replaced in the Middle Ages by a typical Maasland water castle. The castle was modified in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to meet the housing standards that applied at the time. A coach house was added and a beautiful English garden was built to the south of the castle. The castle served as a residence for many years, but in recent years it housed a hotel-restaurant. However, this hotel went bankrupt in May 2013 and closed.
