Provinciedomein De Halve Maan

Provinciedomein De Halve Maan is a 50-hectare recreational domain in Diest that combines water areas, playgrounds, and natural landscapes for various activities. The site features sandy beaches next to outdoor swimming pools and water slides, along with walking paths and green spaces for different pastimes.

The park's name comes from a lunette that was part of the 19th-century defensive fortifications built around Diest. These historical military structures still influence the layout and shape of the terrain today.

The park serves as a meeting place for local families who gather for swimming, water sports, and outdoor leisure throughout the warmer season. The open green spaces and bathing areas shape the rhythm of daily life for residents in the area.

Visitors should be prepared for varying terrain conditions depending on whether they plan to use the water areas or natural walking paths. It is helpful to bring weather-appropriate clothing and check opening hours before arriving.

The domain provides two trekking cabins specifically for hikers and cyclists, along with four modern camper van spots equipped with water and electricity connections. This infrastructure makes the site appealing for multi-day stays in nature.
