Are you walking along with the central route in Antwerp? Then you take off at the Zomerfabriek in Antwerp, just like last year. This old gasworks was completely revamped by the City of Antwerp and has since become a veritable hotchpotch of art, culture and relaxation.

On Sunday, October 8, we will have the opportunity to transform the site into a place where our walkers can leave all excited and relax afterward, tired put proudly. You will be able to enjoy a dash of music, taste worldly cuisine and relax with a nice drink. Together with our partners we will do our utmost to provide some atmospheric fringe activities at departure and arrival.

Independent of the distance you have chosen, you can take a breath every 10 km at a maximum organized resting point. Besides sanitary facilities, you will be surprised with a snack and a drink, to regain strength. Thanks to the extensive signposting, there is no need to bring your map and compass, but you can fully enjoy the surroundings.
