Highlight • Historical Site

A historic location where vagrants have made a living in the past. Now an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area by bike or simply walking through the landscape.

Imposing avenues give structure to the Colony. The domain of almost 600 hectares is laid out as a checkerboard of beautiful rectangular (almost square) plots. Stately avenues with trees more than 100 years old cross the landscape. We can now enjoy the splendor of colors in the rich shade of the avenue.

Borrekens Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle has been the pride of Vorselaar for centuries. Around 1270 the first stone was laid by the knights of Rotselaar. The ground plan has been largely preserved to this day. The castle is home to a treasure trove of history and stories, and has been inhabited ever since by noble families. The walking and cycling paths around the castle grounds are a major attraction in the municipality. The castle is surrounded by a green oasis. The beautiful Lindendreef takes you from the church of Vorselaar in a straight line to the castle. To keep the peace in the forest, traffic is not allowed here.

Warandeplas

Highlight • Lake

The Warandeplas is an extensive body of water that lies between the forests of Rollekensbergen and the Visbeek valley, an extremely valuable and extremely varied nature reserve. It is a beautiful location for walking, cycling and enjoying nature. There is even a zone where your dog can freely enter the water. In 2016 a sheep grid was placed around the Warandeplas in function of the grazing by sheep. In this way variation is ensured in the structure of the landscape with a mosaic of forest, shrubs and open areas.

Konijnenberg Sand Dune

Highlight • Natural Monument

Right in the centre of Vosselaar lies a remarkable green zone: the Konijnenberg.
This crescent-shaped land dune is 36.33 metres above sea level, making it the highest drifting dune in the Antwerp Kempen. The Konijnenberg is spread out over a length of 700 metres and a width of 70 to 120 metres. The height of this drifting dune of dark yellow loam is indicated by a height marker. The mountain and its green surroundings were protected by Monuments and Landscapes and largely belong to the municipality. The domain is therefore freely accessible.

Marckstraat — gravel road with views of the Turnhout Marshes

Highlight • Cycleway

Fantastic (rust-colored) gravel strip with a view of the Turnhouts Vennen area. Photogenic desolate tree. It is part of the Strada Campina, the gravel ride that combines the best of the Kempen.

Bels Lijntje cycle path between Baarle and Turnhout

Highlight • Cycleway

Great bike path, but there are a number of dangerous crossings. You have no priority anywhere.
