Most of the buildings in the beguinage are managed by the OCMW. Some houses are rented out, others are leased. The leaseholders are allowed to live in the houses, but are obliged to renovate them under strict regulations.

Kempen-Hageland Route Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

This cycle path is also known as the Hageland-Kempen Cycle Path. As a cyclist you will not be bothered by other traffic in this former track bed, unless of course at the successive intersections where 'normal traffic' has right of way. Incidentally, these crossings are usually safely and identically constructed, so that they are easily recognizable. There are always staggered fences at the road to be crossed, so that you cannot cycle straight ahead without thinking. Often there are also signs with the plea 'cyclists to reduce speed'. On the road that crosses the cycle path, the crossing is usually made of cobblestones, so that traffic on that road receives a minimal warning. The cycle path runs through a mainly green area.
