Ready, set, go!

The adventure starts at Maasmechelen Village as you put together the perfect outfit in no-time. Comfortable sneakers from Skechers or sturdy boots from Timberland or The North Face: check. A comfy outfit from newcomers Haze & Finn or Dockers: double check. Funky beachwear from Protest: triple check. Just add a functional, trendy backpack from Kipling and you are good to go for your next big adventure!

01

Adventure on the water

The sun is shining, the weather is good: that calls for a water adventure! Head out to Terhills Cablepark at just a few minutes from the Village to release your inner wakeboarder and catch a wave on the cable park.

More into kayaking? Get your best skills into gear at Kajak Maasland in Lanaken. Or: head to Tongeren for a fun SUP session at Mangata Adventure. For those who prefer being in the water to being on it, we recommend stopping by TODI at be-MINE in Beringen for a literal dive into the past during a snorkelling or diving initiation. Adventure guaranteed!

Time to relax? Extend your adventurous day on the water with a night on a Treibgut raft at Sailcenter Limburg, or rent a quirky floating camping raft at De Wissen. Extra perk: you get to wake up with breath-taking views of the water!

02

Adventure in between the trees

In Limburg, adventure awaits in more than one place. Try the forest, for example: walk the impressive Kruinenpad right in the Village’s backyard for a refreshing forest experience. Or: ride a bike for breath-taking views at Fietsen door de Bomen in Bosland or Fietsen door de Heide at the National Park Hoge Kempen, two unique cycling experiences in the area.

Looking for adventure on an even higher level? Brave the high ropes course in the Warredal Adventure Park: only for real daredevils! Those looking to spend the night in between the trees can book an optional overnight stay in one of the park’s cosy cabins.

If you have smaller children to entertain, consider stopping by one of Limburg’s play forests for hours of climbing and playing fun. Find all locations here.

While cycling through the trees is a familiar concept to some, few know about Limburg’s beautiful treetop walks. Maasmechelen’s Kruinenpad, a unique high-level bridge, takes you on a 181-metre journey through the trees complete with spectacular views and a variety of exciting wildlife.

03

Adrenaline-packed adventure

Real thrill seekers can get their fill at Snowvalley in Peer, at about a half an hour's drive from Maasmechelen Village. Get ready for endless ski and snowboard fun on actual snow, or let your inner adventurer run wild on the brand-new high ropes course. Are you up to the challenge?

Did you know that in Limburg, you can also ski or snowboard without snow? Try the 8-metre-high jump on the dry slope in Kattevennen: a big challenge, but the reward – a breath-taking view of the Hoge Kempen National Park – is well worth it! Not as experienced? Explore the park’s tubing facilities: a fun activity for the entire family.

Even closer by you will find Karting Genk: perfect for some adrenaline-filled adventure behind the wheel! Go wild on the outdoor track and follow in the footsteps of Formula 1 racing hero Max Verstappen. Ready for a real adrenaline rush?

04

Indoor adventure

Spring weather in Belgium can get rather underwhelming, but not to worry: Limburg also offers a host of exciting indoor adventures to save the day. For example, get ready for an adventurous climb at the Alpamayo climbing centre on the be-MINE site in Beringen – suited for both experienced and amateur climbers.

Or: embark on an indoor adventure with the entire family at Saraland for 20,000 m2 of indoor fun. Swimming, indoor games, minigolf: if you can dream it, you can do it at Saraland! Feel like bringing out your inner Tarzan or Jane? Then Tarzan & Jane, the largest indoor playground in the Benelux, might just be your cup of tea. You will never run out of things to do here. Go all-out on the obstacle course, the snow glider, the climbing volcanoes, the bouncy houses, ... Adventure galore!

Limburg has a host of exciting adventures on offer for the entire family to enjoy. We hope to welcome you soon at Maasmechelen Village for an adventure-filled day out or weekend getaway!
