Description by the author

Kings and princes liked to walk in their estate at Retie. The Prinsenroute takes you to these former royal domains. Today, the Antwerp Provincial Government is the proud owner of the Prinsenpark (190 ha), which is enchanting in every season. Even more beauty on this 'royal' route: the Mill of 't Veld in Geel and his colleague 'De Heerser' in Retie, nature reserve De Tikkebroeken and the Priory of Corsendonk

Note: The signs of the theme route disappeared in 2009.
Tourism Antwerp Kempen has developed a KP variant.
