    Hiking

    Road that runs next to the canal. Enjoy the unique ancient landscape. The decor changes color every season.

    Hiking

    At the end of the 19th century, the number of escape attempts increased. To discourage the escapees and to reassure the local residents, work started on digging a ring ditch around Merksplas-Kolonie. In the south of the Colony, however, it was never completed. The ring ditch around Merksplas-Kolonie is 6.5 km long. It has a walking path on both dikes. The canal used to be an open canal, but today you will find a wooded strip here.

    Beautiful nature trail next to the canal where you can hear the silence. This canal was dug by the people.
