Papenmoer

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Meaning: The name is a compound of "paap" (referring to the Catholic clergy) and "moer" (peatland). It indicates a piece of moorland that was historically owned by the ecclesiastical authorities, specifically the Abbey of Tongerlo.

Location: Papenmoerstraat is located in the northern part of the municipality, near the border with the Netherlands (Rucphen area).
Point of interest: A modern chapel dedicated to the Virgin of the Poor stands at the corner of Rouwmoer and Papenmoerstraat.

Nature and Recreation: The area is part of the historic peatlands of Essen. You can explore the surroundings via the Peat Theme Walk (No. 1: Oude Moervaart). The Papenmoerbeek also flows through this region.

Beautiful piece of asphalt right through the Kalthoutse heath.
For the most part car-free.

Station Heide and World War II Memorial

Highlight • Historical Site

Another icon that has disappeared. Jan Francken from Kalmthout (59) was the last of his kind. For 33 years he was station master in his small station in Heide-Kalmthout. A unique one, because comic book enthusiast Jan was even allowed to create his own Suske en Wiskemuseum – more or less with permission from the NMBS. Closed at the end of 2021.

Bakkersmolen Wildert

Highlight • Monument

This mill houses the steam and bakery museum. The mill does not operate during the week, but you are allowed in the mill to visit the museum, you can even go all the way up. But a visit is definitely recommended on Sundays, the mill comes to life, the blades turn, the steam engines roar and a steam train turns in circles, the baking oven emanates delicious smells of freshly baked bread, gingerbread and gingerbread, in the shop buy. After your visit, a drink on a terrace or something delicious to eat in the Molenhoeve, located next to the mill, is definitely recommended, there is a nice menu with the most delicious dishes. The children can ride the train or play on the playground equipment in the park next to the terrace.
