Biking, walking, relaxing
We welcome you to our B&B, De Zilveren Helm. To discover the environment you can visit our local forests (Kempen) or walk through the famous hollow lanes (12 m deep) which cross Halen’s hills. Cycle tours pass by small rivers with water mills, old monuments (like the Sint-Jansberg monastery with its typical café open on Sundays) and local musea (like the Reinvoart where you can taste the white Hageland wine on Sundays). Small towns like Halen, Herk-de-Stad, Diest are nearby. Further information on other events or interesting places to see is available on request.
Halen is known as the location of a famous battle which took place in the First World War. A lot of names find their origins in this `Slag der Zilveren Helmen’ (literally translated "The Battle of the Silver Helmets") in 1914 and you can visit the war museum Slag der Zilveren Helmen near the battlefield.
