A Resting Place at the pond of Caron's Hofke is inviting to stay for a while.
At the initiative of artist Pien Storm van Leeuwen, in collaboration with the neighbouring municipalities of Merksplas, 20 resting places were marked with a large boulder, with a poem on it that relates to that location.
In Merksplas you will find two resting places: one at the source, and one in Carons Hofke.
In Carons Hofke, at resting place 2, the poem is by Geert De Kockere.
'Invisibly slowly the stream finds its way through the landscape. The sun glistens in a mirror of water that a passer-by suddenly breaks. Shards bring water happiness.' Here too, it is beautiful how the natural mood is touched.
Poetry to think about while you pause here for a moment.

Rest, enjoy the lawns along the waterfront and contemplate or just look at the clouds.

This municipal park (5 ha) north of the village is the most idyllic spot of Merksplas. Including picnic tables, beautiful ponds, an eco toilet and information boards about the former Pastorijhof.
