Description
Right next to the Belgian border, you will discover the Stoppelbergen and the Moretusbos near Bergen op Zoom. A lovely area for a walk!
Balthazar Moretus
From junction 1 you enter the Moretusbos. This beautiful park forest was founded from Ravenhorst Castle. In the past, the elite hunted here. Balthazar Moretus, a descendant of the wealthy Plantijn-Moretus printing family from Antwerp, acquired the domain in 1679. But it was Jonker Johannes-Josephus Moretus, owner since 1758, who had the forest created.
The Stoppelbergen
Between 1760 and 1780, the poor population built a forest on the waste heathland with avenues, sand banks and hills, modeled on the gardens of the palace of Versailles in France. You also walk through De Stoppelbergen. The path in this mixed forest slopes because it is located on the Brabantse Wal. There are many maritime pines in the area, recognizable by their very long needles, coarse bark and large pine cones. The trees are always crooked!
