Renovated connecting path on the Lousberg now opened again

important attraction again accessible: renovation of the path on the Lousberg

An important connection on Lousberg is finally released after it had to be blocked for a long time due to damage. The border downstream was sagged, which led to long and deep cracks in the paved path. This impaired the connection between the plateau on the Kersten pavilion and the "Belvedere pillars" as well as the film tower and the obelisk on the Lousberg.

The stabilization measures on the slope were urgently necessary to ensure the safety of the users of the path. The path was created a little narrower in a critical area to create a larger distance from the slope edge. In addition, the substructure and the edging with steel wages were stabilized and geogitter was installed as an intermediate layer.

After a construction period of a little more than two and a half months and comprehensive planning, the path is now released again. The total cost of the renovation amounts to around 113,000 euros, including ground report, planning performance, archaeological construction support and construction costs.

The reopening of this path is not only a relief for residents and visitors, but also an important step to maintain the cultural heritage and the tourist attractiveness of the region. The Lousberg with its historical buildings and viewpoints is a popular destination for walkers and tourists and the reopened path helps to contain the progressive erosion of the site and to ensure the safety of visitors.

The final completion of the renovation on the Lousberg shows the city's commitment to maintain its historical sites and the security of the citizens. The reopening of the path is proof that important connection paths can be restored with scheduled measures and appropriate investments in order to obtain the attractiveness and accessibility of cultural sights.
