Cycling across the Brabantse Wal and Kalmthoutse Heide

Discover the cross-border nature of the Brabantse Wal and Kalmthoutse Heide. First you cycle through the forests of the Brabantse Wal to Putte: a village that is more or less cut in half by the Belgian-Dutch border. You pass the Fort of Brasschaat, which is part of the defense belt around Antwerp. In the seventies, the Belgian army tried to blow up this fort with dynamite: without success. You then cycle onto the Kalmthoutse Heide, a former low moor area that has been transformed over the centuries into a beautiful large heath with fens and pine forests. This is the most famous heathland in the meadow region!
