Why Haspengouw is the ideal destination for your group vacation

You might not immediately think of it when you hear "group vacation." But Haspengouw — that rolling, fruit-filled heart of Limburg — is exactly the place where large groups finally come truly together. Where families celebrate reunions, friends laugh until their voices go hoarse, and colleagues discover there's more than meeting rooms. And where 28 people stay, cycle and enjoy under one roof — without compromise.

28 beds. One unforgettable vacation.

Organizing a group vacation is a challenge. Everyone wants their own space, but you also want to truly be together. Not spread across three different hotels, not endlessly driving back and forth — just together, in one place. At Velogeren, that's possible. With Vacation Home Elisa (4 to 12 people) and the neighbouring Vacation Home Coco Juliette (4 to 16 people) — both located in the cosy brewery village of Alken — you stay as a group of up to 28 people, within walking distance of each other. Together or apart, it's your choice. Every bedroom has its own privacy and air conditioning. The spacious living areas, fully equipped kitchens and lush gardens with terrace are there for everyone. Dinner together with 20 people in the evening? No problem. A quiet morning with your family while the rest still sleep? That too. And on the Ofyr or in the pizza oven, you'll conjure up evenings no one will soon forget.

Haspengouw: a region that keeps on surprising

Haspengouw is known as Belgium's most beautiful fruit region — but there's so much more than orchards alone. In spring, the blossom transforms the landscape into a sea of white and pink. Walk the blossom routes, follow the blossom tracker and experience something you won't see anywhere else. Every year it's a spectacle that draws people from far away — and you'll be staying right in the middle of it. All year round, you'll discover a region full of character. Visit Tongeren, Belgium's oldest city, with its impressive Gallo-Roman museum and weekly antiques market. Wander the cosy streets of Hasselt and spot modern street art around every corner. Admire the iconic see-through church 'Reading Between the Lines' — a breathtaking work of art. Or visit the majestic Herkenrode Abbey and Alken's seven private castles, right next to your vacation home. Taste Limburg at the local wine estates — Wijnkasteel Genoels-Elderen, Schorpion, Kitsberg — all Gault Millau award winners. Enjoy fresh strawberries, cherries or pears at a local fruit farm. Tap a Cristal on a village terrace. Or treat yourselves to a breakfast basket delivered to your door, while everyone's still asleep.

On two wheels through the best of Limburg

This brings us to our biggest asset: En Route, our very own bike rental. No hassle hauling bikes along or hunting for rental points. We provide comfortable e-bikes ready for your group — right at the door of your vacation home. Whether you choose a relaxed ride past the orchards, the castle route, the brewery route or cycling through water — we map out the route and share local tips you won't find online. Fancy a picnic, a terrace stop or playtime for the kids at the Wissenboske play forest — just 1 km walk from the vacation homes? Haspengouw takes care of that too. And the compact bikes fit on the train too. So from Alken, you can explore all of Limburg — from Hasselt to Tongeren, from Bokrijk to the be-MINE mining slag heaps.
