Mie from the chapel

Napoleon left his mark on the Cartier Heath and the forests were the territory of smugglers for centuries. The Kempen landscape tells stories, but also offers an oasis of peace. Mie van de Kapel, a legendary figure in the area, used to live in this area. The couple farmed here for years, far from the world, on a piece of cultivated heath with a few cows, sheep and chickens. People scraped for a living there and this family provided an example of self-supporting.
