    Hiking

    Not far from home and yet experience a foreign feeling.
    Nice special houses and only one street in Buitenland create a cozy atmosphere.
    On sunny days it can be quite busy here. Parking is possible at the dike. Please note, parking spaces are limited. If all places are occupied, you can continue to the Mobilhome parking a little further away.

    Buitenland is a small but extraordinary hamlet of Bornem that is full of unique buildings. Originally, this hamlet was very rurally isolated (completely bordered in the north by the Scheldt) and remained uninhabited until 1845. From the mid-19th century, the Merckx family started a basket weaving factory there. At one point, there were 200 employees and the family settlement grew into a residential area. This unique history of origin also immediately explains the absence of a church, school or other communal facilities.
