    Hiking

    Sint Annabos was originally part of the Borgerweertpolder. The first polders to be reclaimed with Scheldt sludge were located just behind the northern dike. Most of what is now the forest was reclaimed around 1930.

    In May 1945, the authorities decided to establish several "Staging Areas" or holding camps for the repatriation of their soldiers to the USA.

    The official name of the camp is "Headquarters, United States Staging Area, Antwerp, Belgium, APO 562," but the soldiers named their temporary accommodation "Top Hat."

    Hiking

    A piece of untamed nature near the city. Here you can walk, cycle, and horseback ride. Dogs are also welcome, but must be kept on a leash.
