    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.

    Nice location to relax in the many shady avenues. On summer days, these avenues bring coolness and peace to the mind.

    Until 1996 the colony of Wortel was a place where vagrants were taken care of.
    The landscape image has not changed radically since the beginning of the 20th century: a rather limited change to the building stock and a small part of the wooded space has been converted back to agriculture. The agricultural area is now partly arable land, partly pasture. The floating pattern forms an impressive network.
