    The main entrance to Hofstade-Baden is still located on Tervuursesteenweg. From 1933 to 1936, the estate attracted crowds of day trippers. Many arrived by car or bicycle, while others traveled to Hofstade by boat or train. During this period, the estate earned its nickname "sea of poor people" because it was primarily ordinary people who, due to the Depression of the 1930s, lacked the means to travel to the coast, who spent their free time there.

    Information comes from the on-site sign.
