Hiking
There are two storylines in the prison museum:
- “Punishments and crimes through the centuries”. This story also reflects the origins and evolution of the Belgian prison system, with attention to the reception of vagrants and the evolution of human rights in prisons.
- "Life as it was" of the vagabonds in the former vagabond colonies in the Northern Kempen.
