Description

Boekenberg Park has a very special asset, which is quite rare in Belgium: a 73-metre long ecological swimming pond. Plants purify the water the natural way. In summer, it’s a popular place for a refreshing dip in the water. In winter, only the bravest venture into the water: the winter swimmers of the Deurnese IJsberen are not even deterred by snow.

Boekenberg Park was developed around 1800 by a man with plenty of imagination. The ruined tower and the cave complex are just a few remnants of his unconventional plan for the park. Today, the caves are home to the Boekenberg Natural History Museum, where you can see the remains of Antwerp fossils. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the museum is closed for the foreseeable future.
