Hiking

The Roovertse bridge is located on the Gorp en Roovert estate, also known as the Roovertsche heide. The "Paradisbrug" and the country house Paradijske are also located on the estate. That name is related to the founder of the estate, Joannes Goropius Becanus, a 16th century humanist philosopher and physician, who is known for his book Origines Antwerpiae (The Origin of Antwerp). In this he claimed, among other things, that the earthly paradise would have been in Antwerp and that Adam and Eve therefore spoke Brabant.
