Commander Rasquin Route (shortening)

41 - 40 - 38 - 33 - 34 - 29 - 3 - 4 - 42 - 41

The Commander Rasquin Route starts at the Fort of Bornem and takes you past several relics from World War I and World War II. The fort is part of the outer belt of forts around Antwerp and was set up as an infantry support point during the interwar period. Later, in WWII, it primarily fulfilled a logistical role.

The walk is about 16 kilometers long and runs partly along field roads. Prefer a shorter route? No problem! The hike can be shortened by 5 kilometers.
