Fort Lillo
Fort Lillo is proof that these forts are indestructible. While the rest of the village had to make way for the Port of Antwerp, the fort still stands. The result: a tiny village named Lillo-Fort on the fort grounds.
Also accessible via the water bus!

Doel has been a fiercely contested village for decades. Its turbulent history attracts many curious visitors. Today, it is a graffiti hotspot and a place where several cycle routes and a walking network pass by. Doel is easily accessible, 12 km from our hotel by bike or car.
