Extensive description CloseBorgloon, once the headquarters of the counts of Loon, is surrounded by orchards, including quite a few tall-stemmed orchards. You will also find rolling fields and wooded ridges here. One moment you are hiking through medieval alleys and over the former city wall, and the next a vast landscape unfolds before you. If you want to know more about the rich history of Borgloon, be sure to visit the experience center GRAAF.
