Corsendonk Hooge Heyde | 2-Day cycling package in the beautiful forests of Kasterlee (1.5h from Utrecht)

Day trip to Antwerp

During your stay at Corsendonk Hooge Heyde, a day trip to Antwerp is an excellent idea. Antwerp is just under an hour's drive from the hotel. Start your exploration in the historic heart of the city, where the Grote Markt and Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal impress with their architecture and art, including works by Rubens. Continue your way to the Rubens House for a dive into the world of this master painter. Afterwards, a stroll through the famous Diamond Quarter is a must, followed by some relaxation by the Scheldt. End your day with local delicacies in one of the cosy cafés or restaurants. All this makes Antwerp an unforgettable experience during your stay in the tranquillity of Kalmthout.
