You can complete the DAUWRAUW course both on foot and by bike. The entire route on the estate is about 5.5 kilometers. Although Bornem Castle would love to welcome everyone, unfortunately, due to its historical character, it is not suitable for people with limited mobility.
By car
The castle is located near the center of Bornem, easily accessible and just a 40-minute drive from Antwerp, Brussels, and Ghent. Park at one of the free peripheral parking lots and complete the final kilometer on foot through the beautiful castle lanes and pristine nature. Or put your bike on the tow bar and visit the expo by bike.
