Sint Katharinakerk

Reviewed By Henrique T

Without doubt one of the most beautiful and tallest churches I have ever seen, I did not have the opportunity to enter, but I have been a few days in this area and I have been able to look at it a few times, every time I was amazed by its beauty

Freshly made ice cream, one of the best there is... They have a wide variety of flavours, all made of fresch cow milk. You can also have some wafles or pancakes, but I prefer the ice cream!

An interesting place not to miss when you visit Hoogstraten. The entrance is free of charge. Make sure you look around every corner or you might miss something interesting.

Begijnhof Hoogstraten

Reviewed By RHAHJ - Nijmegen, The Netherlands

This Beguinage is little known, yet it may be the best looking of all beguinages. The area is well kept and houses are inhabited. There is a city museum in one of the houses. The church looks impressive, especially from the back of the Beguinage.

Stedelijk Museum Hoogstraten

Reviewed By RHAHJ - Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Besides local history, this museum has some modern art on display. But I'd visit it for the history. There are stone and bronze tools from the corresponding eras. Especially the collection of bronze axes is remarkable. Where other museums often show a bunch of arrowheads together, here the individual items are given a little more attention through individual descriptions. There is a wooden well from Meerle, dating to about 1080. There are some small cannons from 1790, and earthenware items from the Beguinage, 17th-18th century. And there are many more items, like important medieval documents and stamps etc.. Entry is free, so 4 stars from me.

De Klapekster

Reviewed By dinerman2014 - Berkel en Rodenrijs, The Netherlands

Eervol om als eerste een review door te geven. Nabij Wortel is een mooi wandelgebied door oude veenkoloniën. Het bezoekerscentrum De Klapekster is een fijn vertrek- en aankomstpunt! Ze hebben er handige folders en boekjes, en ook warme en koude drankjes, zelfgebakken cake en lekkere biertjes. Gastvrije uitbaters. Wij liepen de 3-grenzen natuurwandeling van 7,5 km (langs de drie gemeentegrenzen hier, en het Bootjesven met watervogels; halverwege ook drankjes en hoeve-ijs bij Vaneleke). Je kunt soms ook het gevangenismuseum Merksplas bezoeken.
