Tips

April 8, 2024

As I previously wrote on komoot.com/nl-nl/highlight/3048391, the Smeetshof is both the name of the farm where the walks depart and the nature reserve through which the walks pass. The farm was renovated in 1913 and called Smeetshof by the then owners, contractor Smeets-Clerx from Eksel.

The buildings have been the property of the Flemish Land Company since 1999, which makes them available as part of the 't Smeetshof nature development project, as you can read on the information board with the photos.

It also states that the Brussels lawyer family Mahieu built the first home here in 1874 after they bought the land from the widow de l'Escaille-d'Erp de Holt after the costs of the large-scale reclamation of former municipal lands in the former swamp forest here. had risen high.
