Grobbendonk: Loop within a loop

Description

This is a loop-in-loop walk. We did this to make the walk longer so that we could enjoy nature a little longer.

During this walk, one comes across various sights:

* Chapel of Boshoven. This chapel existed before 1897. It is built on or near the choir of the old church of Ouwen.

* Castle Grobbendonk. Castle Grobbendonk is a former castle in the Antwerp city of Grobbendonk. Only the forecourt of this castle has been preserved.

* Chapel Hofeinde. On the driveway to the castle, there used to be a small wooden chapel on a wooden post, surrounded by a beech hedge.

* The pillory. A document from 1414 mentions the existence of the pillory in Grobbendonk. It concerns the execution of a farmhand at ‘the stake’ in Grobbendonk. He had raped a local damsel.
