Climb Hermansheuvel and enjoy sweeping views of the Hageland, then venture deeper into the countryside through the orchards. Hermansheuvel is a typical Diestian hill, but one with a history dating back to the Stone Age. Archaeological research has unearthed thousands of stones and earthenware objects from the Michelsberg culture. Tip: take a short detour from the walk and visit the Kluisberg winery. You can have a picnic among their vineyards there.
