Long straight stretch through the woods

Highlight • Trail

Central avenue of 7 km long connects the Gewestbos Ravels from North to South. The avenue is named after the founder Marneffe of this pilot project.
Today many use the Marneffdreef to quickly go straight from north to south.

History: The wastelands were bought by the Belgian state at the beginning of the 20th century (1903 - 1904). These grounds mainly consisted of heath. From 1906 the grounds were planted with Scots pines. The forest was a kind of experimental forest in which it was examined how one could convert heathland into coniferous forests.
This pilot project to understand the quality of trees was important for the mining industry.

Brug 6 Drawbridge and Former Bridge Keeper's House, Arendonk

Highlight • Bridge

Bridge 6, located at De Lusthoven 36 in Arendonk, dates from 1899 and is known as the former bridge keeper's house at the drawbridge on the canal. De Lusthoven is the connecting road N118 Arendonk-Ravels. This dirt road, which was built in the first quarter of the 19th century, was paved only in 1903. The building largely still has the same appearance and appearance as it was built in 1899, so 120 years ago. In 2017, the building underwent a complete renovation, but both inside and outside you can still see the craftsmanship, charming appearance and character features of the original building. It is partly for this reason that this beautiful building is also included in the list of cultural immovable heritage of Belgium.

St. Peter's Church, Turnhout

Highlight • Religious Site

Anyone who thinks that St. Peter's Church is a church like any other will be disappointed. The exterior is remarkably austere, the interior is breathtaking. The showpiece is the pulpit from 1862. Once recovered, let the myths come to you.
How old the oldest church in Turnhout is remains a mystery. But the result of centuries of work is simply beautiful. Especially the well-known interior attracts big eyes. There is no longer any trace of devastation during the iconoclasm. On the contrary. The pulpit, the high altar and sculptures and paintings shine with beauty. A rich church treasure is also preserved. Don't spread the word.
The pulpit, the stained glass windows, the organ and the altars, once seemed to go up in flames. The church tower seemed to burn. However, the seat of the fire turned out to be a strong swarm of mosquitoes in the sunshine. For example, the inhabitants of Turnhout were nicknamed 'mosquito extinguishers'. There are even more myths hanging around the church. Worth discovering!

Castle of the Dukes of Brabant (Turnhout)

Highlight • Castle

The Castle used to be the hunting lodge of the Dukes of Brabant and now serves as a court. In the pond around the Castle you will see the statue of The Naiad, the goddess of all springs and rivers. The Naiad settled on the moat in 1991. Rik Poot designed the statue that makes us believe what the water nymphs from Greek mythology would have looked like. In Greek mythology you had Dryads and Naiads. The Dryads protected the forests and the Naiads the waters.
