Caestert Farm

Highlight • Historical Site

Hoeve Caestert is a farm located on the Walloon part of the Sint-Pietersberg also called Plateau van Caestert, about 250 meters south of the border with Maastricht and almost immediately adjacent to the Flemish municipality of Riemst. The farm is located in the protected area of Thier de Caster. Hoeve Caestert was part of Castle Caestert, which burned down in 1972.
Hoeve Caestert is being renovated. The Walloon Region has earmarked 3.6 million euros for this.

Lichtenberg Castle Ruin

Highlight • Castle

The former castle of Lichtenberg has a fairly long history and was even briefly the headquarters of the Duke of Alva at the start of the Eighty Years' War. In the eighteenth century the building fell into disrepair and today only the ruins of the keep remain. This was added in the nineteenth century to the Lichtenberg farm, which was built on the castle grounds in the eighteenth century. So it is actually not a castle farm.

Little ENCI Lake

Highlight • Lake

Before entering the ENCI quarry (on the side of the chalet) through a gate you will come across the small ENCI Lake. Here you can find peace and quiet on the side of the Lake. You will also encounter fishermen here on the lake.

Highlight • Cave

Several marl quarries have been dug underground over the centuries, including the Caestert Quarry, the Caestert Burial Cellar, the Castle Quarry, the Ternaaien-Boven Groeve, the Ternaaien-Midden Groeve and the Ternaaien-Beneden Groeve. There is also an open pit quarry that mined marl, the Lost Valley.

Natural stone gate to the panoramic trail

Highlight • Monument

The area is bounded on the north by the border with the Netherlands, on the east at the foot of the slope behind the gardens or houses of Klein-Ternaaien, on the south by the locks of Ternaaien on the Albert Canal, on the south-west obliquely to the edge of the forest on the plateau, largely following the edge of the forest and in the west following the Rue de Caster/Luikerweg to the border with the Netherlands.
