Icon description route Description

Beautiful walk in and around Merksplas Kolonie

What is there to see?

Around the buildings, there is a complete judicial village with various authentic guard houses that have been recently beautifully renovated, a Great Farm with a visitor center where one can discover the history of the colony, a school, and a chapel. The five main buildings are protected as monuments. The protected domain covers about 600 hectares and is surrounded by a moat.

The domain is characterized by a grid pattern of avenues, interspersed with fields, meadows, forests, and clay pits. In recent years, Merksplas Kolonie has won many awards in the field of tourism. As a result, it has become a popular destination for cycling, mountain biking, or walking through the beautiful avenues.

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 by Herman Van den ReeckA beautiful route with mostly unpaved roads, beautiful in any season. At the beginning of the walk you can visit the Colony's visitor center, with restrooms available. There is also the prison museum and at the end of the walk also a botanical garden ( view hours)
