Boomtenten

In the landscape, along the avenue to Hex Castle, you will find four tree tents where you can spend the night.

The tear-shaped sculptures hang from high trunks and form an alternative shelter to spend a night in Haspengouw. The work of Dré Wapenaar (NL) is always on the border between architecture and sculpture, between staying and meeting. His sculptures are mainly tent constructions that are placed temporarily. They invite you to stay in them or to take shelter under them. The social interaction around the work is of great importance to the artist.

At the tree tents of Dré Wapenaar in the Tranendreef you will also find Field Furniture “Pure Nature” by Ardie Van Bommel (NL), a seating, washing, toilet and barbecue unit based on the paloxen or fruit crates that you see so often in the Haspengouw landscape. There are two half-moon mattresses in the tent. Most renters bring a sleeping bag and a pillow.

Location: Dreef naar het kasteel van Hex (side street of Alfonsstraat), Bommershoven. Limited parking.

Camping in a tree tent is possible with two adults and two (small) children under the age of 12.

Cost: €70.00 for 1 tree tent/night. You can order breakfast for €200 per person.

Overnight stays are possible from April 1 to September 30, 2025.
