Tips

🇧🇪 Herwig Aertbeliën

December 6, 2024

The Marbeleven is a nature reserve located in the Vraagheide and of which 3 ha is currently owned by Natuurpunt. It consists of an overgrown forest with common pine and rough birch, a wet wooded heath, the remains of a dried-up fen, a sod area and a plot edge next to a meadow.

This location was once a place of entertainment and fun.
Historical interpretation: the recreational area Marmerven, Marmeren Ven, Marbele Ven or Marrebollenven. Together with Sint-Job's "Klein Zwitserland" it was a real attraction for Antwerp tourists, who also spent the night there at campsites. The Marrebollenven gradually lost its appeal, but until the 1980s you could go there for boating or to the playground. The fen is now partly silted up, largely closed off and partly managed by Natuurpunt as a nature reserve.

The area is located between junctions 62 and 57 of the Kempense Hoven walking network.
