Icon description route Description

Creating useful work for the poor and vagrants: that was the purpose of the Colonies of Weldadigheid in Wortel and Merksplas at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Today in the Kempense Kolonies you will discover a very special landscape and heritage. Plus a lot of fascinating stories. Also on your route: the charming town of Hoogstraten, with its lovely beguinage. A Unesco World Heritage Site, just like Wortel-Kolonie!
