Tour of Alphen, Baarlo, Anneville and Chaamse Bossen

From your starting point you quickly make a nice shortcut to the Bels Lijntje, the former railway line between Tilburg and Turnhout that now serves as a cycle path. You then continue to Baarle via the Bels Lijntje. In this enclave village, a total of 30 pieces of Belgium and the Netherlands are intertwined! You then cycle straight through Chaam and the hamlet of Dassemus to Koetshuis Anneville, originally a tenant farm dating from 1844. Villa Anneville was briefly the residence of Queen Wilhelmina. She camped here with, among others, Erik Hazelhoff Roelfzema, the Soldier of Orange. Then you cycle back through the Chaamse Bossen. The sand drifts, wet heathland and fens here are planted with Scots pine.
