Campine (Dutch: Kempen) is a region which once consisted mainly of moor or swamp, heath and sandy peat. The Campine encompasses the east of Antwerp province (with Turnhout as the most important city), part of Limburg province in Belgium (a former coal-producing region) as well as part of Noord-Brabant, a Dutch province.
Nowadays, the Campine is becoming a popular destination for tourists searching for a quiet and relaxed weekend. Old farms were transformed into bed and breakfast-hotels, the restaurant and café business is very active and an ingenious network for bicycle tours has come to life the past few years.
