Limburg - Hasselt

Bokrijk-Biking (50 km)

Introduction

Step into the past, literally and figuratively, in the Open Air Museum. More than 100 historic buildings, rebuilt in their original condition, await you. Even the furniture, the farming tools and the household goods are authentic. However, the Open Air Museum lives.

In Bokrijk, life takes its course; it follows nature’s rhythm. The morning sun pierces through the lush green foliage and conjures up a colourful light show on the Kempen square. The church bells ring and the windmill starts up slowly. The priest gets ready for a fire-and-brimstone sermon. And while the farmer and his wife warm themselves at the fire, the village constable patrols the village with a vigilant expression. The delicious scent of freshly baked bread at the local bakery delays the children on the way to school. Are you curious to see who will be required to wear the donkey’s ears by the strict teacher today? And you… are right in the middle of it all!
