Extensive description Close

This hike will definitely put you in a pleasant holiday mood, especially during the summer months. You will get to know the Heerenlaak recreational area, where two campsites, a marina, and a sandy beach attract many tourists. Along the Maas towards Ophoven, you will also encounter many cyclists enjoying a delightful bike ride combined with a visit to local hospitality.

In the village center of Aldeneik, street names, buildings, and monuments take you back to the time when Harlindis and Relindis, daughters of Adelhard and Grinnara, performed various miracles here. They founded a monastic community and were visited by the missionary bishop Willibrordus. In 870, Harlindis and Relindis were canonized. Their relics are still venerated and celebrated today, including a procession that takes place every 25 years through the streets of Maaseik and Aldeneik.
