INTRODUCTION

Zonhoven, the heart of De Wijers, is the ideal place to enjoy a bit of R & R.

Discover the unique nature of De Wijers, either by bike or on foot, and be surprised by the silent splendour of nature, the many hundreds of ponds, winding paths and expansive heathland.

The viewing tower was built in 2015 and offers you a great panoramic view of this pond area with its rare flora and fauna.

Has such a long hike or cycle tour made you hungry or thirsty? Then seek out the pleasant village centre where the restaurants and specialist shops will welcome you with typical Zonhoven hospitality.

Johny De Raeve Kristien Smets Mayor of Zonhoven Tourism Alderman Zonhoven

Every year we turn Hasselt into a town with a great many worthwhile activities in store for its visitors.

Museums put on a varied range of exhibitions, whilst the other cultural activities liven things up throughout the year. Those with a sporting bent can discover Hasselt during themed walks, by bike or via a golf tour. Hasselt’s fashion offerings mean you can always face the world in style. And do you fancy something tasty after shopping in our streets with their many unique bou-tiques and other shops? Then grab a table in one of our excel-lent restaurants and cafés.

Our authentic hotels and B&Bs will take great care of you with their warm hospitality. If you want to experience our lively town centre to the full, to enjoy the peace and quiet of the green outskirts and discover the wealth of hidden gems in our town, a day trip is always much too short.

So we are sure that a visit to the Capital of Taste will only leave you with a taste for more...

JENEVER LIVES!

Visit the Hasselt Fashion Museum and be in-spired by the fashion and designers of today and yesteryear. The impressive collection tells the history of Western fashion from 1750 to the present. Each of our changing exhibitions give you a new insight into this fascinating world. One time we might take you behind the scenes of a popular designer or media figure, another time we might focus on a historic or current topic. To be recommended for any fashion or culture fan!

EXHIBITIONS 2016JAZZ AGE. THE ROARING 20S. UNTIL 13 MARCH 2016The twenties feature a complete change in style that flirts with modernism. The new moral and social etiquette prescribed an androgynous, playful fash-ion, in stark contrast to the preceding period. Women’s fashions were debated, inspired by avant-garde art and the predilection for leisure time and sport. Men’s fashions also changed, marked by a predilection for a youthful and sporty appearance.

HAUTE-À-PORTER 2 APRIL 2016 TO 11 SEPTEMBER 2016When we think of haute couture, we thing of terms such as luxury, skill, volume, extravagance, spectacle and splendour. But are these not properties that also mark out modern off-the-peg clothing? The Haute-à-Porter exhibition exam-ines this question in more depth and looks at the influence of traditional haute couture on the modern-day ready-to-wear industry, and how the latter has become a major player in the fashion landscape.

HASSELT TRIENNIAL 1 OCTOBER 2016 TO 5 MARCH 2017To mark the triennial, the Hasselt Fashion Museum will be diving into the collections in its own archive of over 17,000 pieces, supplemented with items on loan. The exhibition will showcase a selection of iconic and archetypal items that have grown into real ‘trademarks’. This selection will be used to highlight aspects such as uniqueness and originality in fashion. With a strong sociological impact, it looks at how the sector deals with inspiration, and the copying and re-use of logos. It will also look in depth at the protection mechanisms, which are continuously evolving.

It is really too strange for words how experiments with a small berry packed full of health properties has grown into Belgium’s national distilled drink. But once you understand the story and know about jenever, you will see the difference and before you know it, you will have acquired a taste for it!

Stills have been used for over 500 years to combine ingredients and techniques in the search for the perfect type of jenever. But how do you store, pour and taste jenever? What is your favourite flavour? What is the difference between jenever and gin? In the new Jenever museum you will find out why jenever is called ‘jenever’. Why it was not invented by anyone in particular. And how it has shaped history. With body and spirit, with all your senses, throughout the muse-um. Take a snifter to help you learn about it. And then maybe another snifter to unlearn it again!

You can also visit the tasting room without a museum ticket. There is always something new to discover in the fine selection of jen-evers from the Low Countries. You must also make sure to try our tasty discovery tours.

Art in the street scene

LIESJE REYSKENSUNIQUE ART PROJECT IN THE STREETS OF HASSELTNothing is quite what it seems in the photographs by Liesje Reyskens, a top talent from Limburg. She combines child-like, sugary images of perfect models with the layers and seriousness of life itself. She also recently developed an application with which her photos quite literally come to life.

She has exhibited her work in cities such as Madrid, Milan, Toronto and LA; now she is coming home to Hasselt and has never before exhibited so much new work, some of which is inspired by her trip to Japan, at unique locations in Hasselt town centre.

Download the app from the App store or Google Play and from 1 March to 31 May follow a route through Hasselt town centre that is not only a colourful celebration for children but also tells a layered story for adult spectators. The streets in the town are the backdrop for this unique art project, a must-see for the spring!

You can admire more of her work in the Japanese garden throughout the opening period. The contents of this totally different project will change with the seasons, so you will never get tired of it. So it’s the ideal moment to experience the garden as never before.

Keen to know more about pre-historic times? Then follow the reindeer hunters’ path in the De Teut nature reserve and walk in the footsteps of pre-historic rein-deer hunters and the first farm-ers in this area. Along this path you will encounter the Holsteen, the only fixed whetstone that was used 3000 to 5000 years ago by pre-historic farmers to polish their flint axes. Further on you will come to an aban-doned tented camp used by the reindeer hunters who lived here 11,000 years ago. Would you like to know how these pre-historic hunters and the first farmers lived? Return to the town hall and visit the exhibition about Zonhoven in pre-historic times.

SAINT QUENTIN’S CHURCH ZONHOVEN

Are you familiar with Kempen cathedral? This neoclassical church is well worth a visit. The large classical interior is a jewel, the twelve Tuscan pillars are both decora-tive and imposing. Following the restora-tion, you can again admire the majestic stucco work in the choir and the nave. The Ten Eikenen chapel outside the centre is another very popular venue for weddings. It was also a famous place of pilgrimage in the 16th and 17th centuries.

There is a permanent exhibition at the Hei-destrand leisure area where you can discov-er how the Zonhoven fish farmers, inspired by the residents of Herkenrode Abbey, shaped this landscape and in the process made De Wijers into a last refuge for many rare plant and animal species. Go on an exploration along the educational footpath with bird-watching huts, information panels and a number of interactive exhibits.

If you would like to find out more about the fish and fish farmers, you can take a peek behind the scenes of one of the Zonhoven fish farms. If you would like to explore the many ponds by bike, you can follow the Pond Route, a free app with digital cycle routes. Or discover the region via the Limburg cycle route network using the “De Wijers” theme map.

DE WIJERSThe De Wijers nature reserve extends over an area encompassing Hasselt, Zonhoven, Houthalen-Helchteren, Heus-den-Zolder, Diepenbeek, Lummen and Genk. It is a unique region of 1001 ponds which were dug for the flourishing fish farming industry – with support from Herkenrode Abbey.

DE WIJERS VIEWING TOWER VIEWING POINT FOR VIPSIf you too would like to enjoy a VIP view of De Wijers, climb the 15-metre high viewing tower. On the way up you will learn why na-ture management is an international affair and find out about the residents you will meet here. On the highest platform, you will have a front-row seat to see with your own eyes whether the osprey will be tempted to nest on the platform designed especially for it. A car park and path have been created for wheelchair users. They too can enjoy a superb view of Dr Wijers using the periscope on the ground floor of the tower.

PROCESSIONS ON SUNDAY 6, 13 AND 20 AUGUST – 15 AUGUST EVENING PROCESSION The Septennial Festivities of Our Lady Virga Jesse in Hasselt are a tradition that has been passed from generation to generation for six centuries. The festivities centre on Our Lady Virga Jesse, the patron saint of the town. The streets will be decorated with flags, flowers and water features, depictions from folklore and scenes from the life of Mary.

The high-point and ultimate raison d’être of the festivities are the processions which in 2017 will progress through the streets of Hasselt on the Sundays of 6, 13 and 20 August. There will be an evening procession on 15 August. And of course the programme includes the tour of the Langeman, Hasselt Ridderreus (knight giant) and the associated pea soup dispensation.

INFORMATION: www.virgajessefeesten.be, [email protected] or via Toerisme Hasselt.

DID YOU KNOW? The Septennial Coronation Festivities in Tongeren will be held in 2016 from 3 to 10 July.
