This walk is situated in and around Meer, the northwestern sub-municipality of Hoogstraten. The Strawberry Path takes you past the horticultural businesses where the strawberries or 'Queens of Hoogstraten' are in charge. This path shows you strawberry cultivation in all its aspects. As you will notice, the strawberry fields in the open air have largely been replaced by large greenhouses and plastic tunnels.
