Hiking
You can climb the hill via steps from the Begijnhofstraat and the Brugstraat. A viewing tower was built on the flat top, from where you have a view of Vochtig-Haspengouw and the Demervallei, and in the north the Kempens Plateau with the slag heaps and the industrial area of Genk. Feel free to rest from the climb on the bench near the cross with a view of the climbing tower

There was probably a castle here that belonged to the counts of Loon. Maybe with a lookout tower. Little is known about the appearance of the Borreberg castle, destroyed in 1483 and not rebuilt afterwards. You can climb the site via steps, both from Begijnhofstraat and from Brugstraat. On the platform where the castle once stood, there is now a tourist lookout tower that offers you a panoramic view of our Demer town and the surrounding area.
