Description

De Uitlegger is a beautiful natural area in Brasschaat, Belgium. It is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists, who can enjoy the peaceful surroundings and the beautiful nature. The area is approximately 88 hectares in size and consists of forests, heathlands and fens. There are also a number of historical buildings in the area, including an old farm and a mill. De Uitlegger is an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy nature. It is also a great place to hike, bike or picnic. The Antitank Canal in Kapellen, a historical waterwork, is a relic of World War II. Part of a larger defense system around Antwerp, this canal was built to stop enemy tanks.

The Antitank Canal is a reminder of a turbulent period and a piece of Belgian heritage.
