Brabant tour from Baarle-Nassau

Baarle-Nassau, the starting point of this route, is a different story. In this enclave village, 30 pieces of Belgium and the Netherlands are interwoven. The Bels Lijntje, a former railway line, takes you to Alphen. The construction of the Bels Lijntje took a lot of effort. For a long time, a cross-border line was unthinkable. After the secession of Belgium in 1830, both countries lived at war. Only from the middle of the nineteenth century did mutual trust become more common. Take a break at Brasserie De Goesting in Molenschot! Here you can also see the St. Anne's Chapel. The current building dates from 1842, but had a predecessor built in 1549. You drive back through the vast Prinsenbos.
