The castle looks interesting (I did not enter), about 800 meters from the parking lot (there are toilets), the walking route along the river was lovely, everything was white and snowy, the waterfall, bridges, trees .... everything was perfect (unfortunately the signage is not sufficient, and without the help of other hikers , May not find the parking). The route is sometimes smooth - it is important to arrive with good shoes (and also a walking stick). It is recommended to cross the waterfall, continue along the creek and cross 3-4 bridges, and instead of climbing and descending - return the way we came.

Great location to visit, beautifully surrounded by forest with nice trails. The castle was build on a 55m high cliff, is being partially rebuild and will be further rebuild trough the years. The property can be visited and a tour guide will show you around.
Great medieval origin castle in Belgium. Great place for hiking as well, with nice trails. Guided tours in dutch and french, english papers are available.
Awesome guided tour! Available in 3 languages and well a beautiful environment and the story above all is very interesting
Singular history of a “guardian house” totally refurbished. Some tips: - parking is far from the “castle” entrance ,so be prepared to walk. - visit inside is recommended (also be prepared to walk), the guides are really good and give you interesting infos ( our guide was a lady who was an ex-teacher) - taste the local beer (strong) - know the history oh the visionary who bought the property.
Lovely! While the castle's surroundings can be visited every day, outside of school holidays the inside of the castle can only be visited in Wednesday. I recommend to call ahead, the staff was very friendly and quick to reply on the phone.
Really enjoyed my visit. It's not a very popular destination, but is situated in a super picturesque area. I usually don't go on guided yours, but it's not an option there and the guide was great. Cozy restaurant too - friendly people. Practical tips: if you visit the castle and go for a walk to see the waterfall plan for half a day. No, you cannot park next to the castle, but there are two decently sized lots about 500m away. FR/NL tours start every 40 mins - 1 hour. The tour takes about 1:20 hour. EN tours are by appointment only. Take hiking shoes, it's not an urban destination.
Didn't actually go inside, but in the forest around it. It's quite impressive and the path leading up to it too. There's also a waterfall in the vicinity, but I only recommend it if you are in good condition and feeling adventurous. At the foot of the castle there's a small bar/tavern that sells refreshments and the local beer :)
