Group visits in the Border Valley

Where the north of the Antwerp Kempen and the Dutch North Brabant merge seamlessly, Hoogstraten, Merksplas, Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau form the 'Border Valley'. In this exceptional border area, borders blur and cities merge into unspoilt nature. The border municipalities are therefore the perfect base for a group to come and enjoy and be surprised by the culinary, cultural and historical hotspots. Come here to unwind without limits, consciously unwind and discover high-quality heritage, green colonies and the rugged borders.

The Dutch border is never far away here. Ideal for smugglers at the time, but still strangely contemporary in the enclaves of Baarle-Hertog and Baarle-Nassau. Fascinating stories that have previously been recorded by the BBC, CNN or The New York Times.

Wortel and Merksplas Colonies were home bases for the many vagrants. A project with a unique history. What's more: in 2021, Wortel-Kolonie was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just like the Beguinage in the Hoogstraten city center, by the way. Hoogstraten presents you with no less than two world heritage sites on its territory. Combined with the Sint-Katharinakerk and its valuable collection of 16th-century art treasures, your day will undoubtedly be a bull's-eye.

But companies are also happy to open their doors to you. Coöperatie Hoogstraten (Hoogstraten Aardbeien!), a real coffee roastery, vineyard or brewery are happy to welcome you for a visit. A visit that will touch all your senses…

When putting together your excursion, we leave nothing to chance. You can count on the entire excursion being taken care of down to the last detail. Together we will fill in the programme you have chosen entirely according to your wishes so that it becomes an unforgettable day.
