Icon description route Description

The Vagebondjespad takes you past the impressive historical heritage of the vagrant colony in Merksplas. Starting at Visitor Center 5-7, you’ll walk along long avenues past the historic buildings that tell the story of the vagrants. During the 6.5-km walk, you’ll discover the old prison guards’ houses, the penal institution, the Center for Illegal Immigrants, and the serene cemetery with its white crosses. Walk along the ring canal and feel the past. Hungry or thirsty? After your walk, settle in at the beautifully renovated site for a refreshing drink at the cozy Brasserie Colonie 7.
