Description
In the mid-nineteenth century, the Belgian royal family acquired 4,500 hectares of land in Retie, Kasterlee, Geel and Oud-Turnhout. A smart investment with a social aspect: hundreds of poverty-stricken farmers from the Kempen region were able to work there. Today the beautiful ponds, atmospheric footpaths and impressive trees of the Prinsenpark remind us of this royal past. Furthermore, this Prinsenroute serves up a generous portion of nature, fascinating heritage and atmospheric Kempen spots.

Friday, July 29, 2022 by Marina CollartThe Prinsenroute did not steal its name, you start at a beautiful parking lot with trees that keep your car cool during tropical days. You set off along pleasant winding roads among the woods and encounter beautiful farmland nurturing houses and plenty of drinking and eating establishments. You will encounter very little traffic on this entire route. 9,5/10

Sunday, April 17, 2022 by Vera Van Hoof - TheysBeautiful route. Beginning and ending gravel road with sometimes loose sand. Many benches. Sometimes very nice quiet areas. Many rural hamlets with handsome houses. Farms. Several places selling ice cream. What struck us were the numerous butterflies we encountered. It was a beautiful Easter Sunday .... .
