Question 1

What are the best walking areas in the Province of Antwerp?

Accepted Answer

The Kalmthoutse Heide on the Dutch border, the De Liereman nature reserve near Oud-Turnhout and the woods around Mol and Geel are among the most popular walking areas. For dog owners these spots are very suitable, though a lead is required in the reserves.

Question 2

Is the Province of Antwerp an expensive destination?

Accepted Answer

Holiday homes in the Campine are on average more affordable than in the Ardennes or on the coast. A spacious house for four to six people costs on average 80 to 130 euros a night, and smaller cottages are cheaper still.

Question 3

Can I combine a holiday home with a visit to the city of Antwerp?

Accepted Answer

Yes, from most places in the Campine you reach the centre of Antwerp in 30 to 60 minutes by car or train. A day trip to the city combines very well with a restful stay in the Campine countryside, and the return is just as quick.

Question 4

Are there holiday homes for large groups in the Province of Antwerp?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially in the Campine you find spacious farmhouses and bungalows for larger groups. Places such as Mol, Geel and Turnhout offer a good choice of accommodation for eight to fifteen people, ideal for a family gathering or a group of friends.

Question 5

Can I bring my dog to a holiday home in the Province of Antwerp?

Accepted Answer

Many holiday homes in the Campine accept dogs. The region, with its vast forests and quiet trails, is ideal for four-legged friends who love to roam. Check when you book whether the garden is fenced and how many dogs are welcome.

Question 6

Is the Province of Antwerp easy to reach?

Accepted Answer

Excellently: the province is central, with the E19, E313 and E34 as fast approaches. From Brussels you are in the Campine in an hour; from the Netherlands, via Eindhoven or Breda, it is just as quick. Without a car too: Antwerp, Herentals, Mol and Turnhout have a station, though a bike on site remains handy.

Question 7

What is there to do in the Province of Antwerp with children?

Accepted Answer

Plenty. Bobbejaanland in Lichtaart is a classic amusement park, the Zilvermeer in Mol combines a swimming lake, beach and playgrounds, and the Campine woods are full of play areas. On rainy days the museums of the city of Antwerp save the day. Many holiday homes also have a large garden, half the fun with young children.

Question 8

What is the best time to visit the Campine?

Accepted Answer

The Campine is a year-round destination, but late August is a well-kept secret: the flowering heather then turns the Kalmthoutse Heide and the Campine reserves purple. Summer suits swimming lakes and bike outings, autumn mushroom walks, and in winter the homes with an open fire or sauna are at their best.
