-------------
Weggedoken in het heuvelend Haspengouwse landschap midden in de fruitstreek straalt de abdij "Mariënlof" vrede en rust uit. De abdij wordt sinds 1822 bewoond door de cisterciënzerzusters, als voortzetting van de abdij Woutersbrakel in Waals-Brabant. In een zijgebouw op het binnenplein van de Abdij Colen vind je de Fruitsite Colen, een klein museum over de geschiedenis van de fruitteelt.
