Icon description route Description

Discovering the bustling center of Turnhout while breathing in the fresh forest air in the green outskirts of town: this hike has it both ways. The first part of the hike takes you along the Dessel-Turnhout canal towards the forest reserve Den Doolhof. A little later you dive into the center of the 'capital of the Kempen'. You will discover the medieval castle of the Dukes of Brabant, the beguinage (UNESCO World Heritage Site), the National Museum of Playing Cards and the cultural center De Warande.Discovering the bustling center of Turnhout and breathing the fresh forest air in the green outskirts of the city: this walk has it both ways.
