Duinengordel - red - 10,1 km

The Commanderij Gruitrode was until 1801 one of the twelve commanderijs of the German Order that were subordinate to the land commander of Alden Biesen. The Commanderij consisted of a castle separated by moats and a farmstead.

Currently, the Commanderij Gruitrode is being restored in phases into a hotspot for culture and events. In addition, the site will serve as a gateway to Duinengordel, helping visitors navigate this northern part of the Nationaal Park Hoge Kempen.

The Oudsberg is a continental dune that rises 30 to 40 meters above the Kempens Plateau and is managed by the Agency for Nature and Forest. To reach the top, you need to climb a bit, but it is well worth the effort. At the top, you can enjoy a beautiful view over Duinengordel. If you face south, you look across the Bosbeekvallei towards the southern part of the Nationaal Park Hoge Kempen.
