Not really a paradise. Especially on beautiful days and in the summer it is very busy there.

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.

From here you have a beautiful view over the Western Scheldt; that applies to this entire dike path, by the way. So close to the major port city of Antwerp, you might just spot a large ship. Or the Drowned Land of Saeftinghe in the distance: the largest brackish marsh in Western Europe.
