\\\'s-Gravenvoer is the most famous sub-municipality of Voeren. The ribbon village was built next to the Voer river and is historically the most important sub-municipality in the area.
That says everything about the insignificant village. Here you can experience Belgian village life without tourism or frills. Simple, cozy and yet authentic! Some religious buildings are well preserved, such as the Chapel of Our Lady, the St. Lambertus Church and the Steenbos Chapel. Historically, the Altenbroek and Ottegraven castles are also well preserved and worth a visit.
The highlight of this cycle tour is undoubtedly the former commandery of the Teutonic Order, which was donated by Daniël van Voeren in 1242 when he entered there. The castle was the commandery of Alden Bielden, where the commander resided. The complex consists of a main building, a farm, stables and a gatehouse. The oldest part of the fortress is the L-shaped wing, topped by a tower. A number of ponds were added to the original ring moats around the commandery in 1885. Trout, sturgeon and eel were, and still are, bred here.
