Grote Hof - Hobos - green - 2,5 km

Step back in time with a visit to the 143-hectare estate Hobos! This 'high woodland' is located on one of the highest points in Overpelt and was once the home of bailiff Clerckx, the famous judge who sent dozens of Bokkenrijders to the scaffold.

Today it is an untouched piece of nature, free of pesticides, with a historic manor house and a charming tenant farmstead. Here you will discover old landscape features and both wet and dry natural areas that harbor rare species such as the nightjar and the smooth snake.

De Grote Hof is another gem of Overpelt’s heritage. This hike offers an idyllic combination of culture and nature. Start your journey at De Grote Hof and hike through the woodlands surrounding this old farmstead. Admire the impressive avenue and enjoy the centuries-old trees with their branches reaching down to the ground.

In Hobos you will find a fascinating blend of historical charm, natural beauty, and exciting adventures! Set out and experience the magic of this special area for yourself.
