About Meersel-Dreef

Meersel-Dreef is a quiet village in the municipality of Hoogstraten, in the province of Antwerp. It lies in the flat, green Kempen landscape right by the Dutch frontier, so it works well as a base for exploring the border region. Expect a rural setting rather than a city, with narrow local roads on the final stretch. Having the exact address ready helps your driver take you to the door.
