Description

Wonderful meandering along the Belgian border, in the wake of smugglers. With all those forests and small paths, the commies had a hard time smuggling here! Your route starts at Natuurkampeerterrein't Beekdal under the Dutch Chaam. You drive to Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog, where 30 parts of Belgium and the Netherlands are intertwined into an enclave. In the countryside there are many sandy paths that have served as smuggling routes. Stop at Reconstruction Switch House, a reconstruction of a switch house from WWI. The Netherlands was neutral at the time. The'Death Wire\\\', an electric barrier, closed the national border. Thanks to the enclave situation, Baarle-Hertog was the only unoccupied Belgian municipality. In Belgium you will discover the beautiful nature reserve of Wortel Colony with its forests, meadows and monumental avenues.
