Marckstraat — gravel road with views of the Turnhout Marshes

Highlight • Cycleway

Fantastic (rust-colored) gravel strip with a view of the Turnhouts Vennen area. Photogenic desolate tree. It is part of the Strada Campina, the gravel ride that combines the best of the Kempen.

Wooden bridge and pond in Merksplas Colony

Highlight • Bridge

The large swimming pool, dug by the prisoners.
A beautiful piece of nature. It is no longer a swimming pond. But there are enough ducks and other water birds.
