Tour of Bels Lijntje and Chaam

Your route starts at B&B Wilgenhart. With this route you will discover the Bels Lijntje, the former railway line between Tilburg and Turnhout, now a cycle path. On your bike you really notice that the border area between Tilburg and Turnhout is actually one vast, contiguous nature reserve. You will also discover what you say is the most remarkable village in the world: 30 pieces of Belgium and the Netherlands that, intertwined, form the village of Baarle. In Baarle the border runs criss-cross through roads, houses and gardens. In built-up areas, the enclave boundaries have been made visible everywhere with the help of special paving stones and aluminum plates in the road surface. The national tricolor displayed on the house number signs also indicates that the front door of a house or building is located in Belgium or the Netherlands.
