Grote Hof - Hobos - red - 9,9 km

A visit to the 143 ha large estate Hobos takes you back several centuries in time. The name means 'high located woodland,' as it is situated on one of the highest points in Overpelt.

It is the home of sheriff Clerckx, the famous judge who brought dozens of Bokkenrijders to the gallows. Today it is a beautiful, pristine, and pesticide-free piece of nature, with a historic manor house and leased farmstead.

You will discover old landscape features, as well as wet and dry natural areas that provide habitat for rare species such as the nightjar and the smooth snake.

The Grote Hof is also a special piece of Overpelt heritage. In short: a hike that combines culture and nature in an idyllic way!
