The Bokrijk Open Air Museum was officially opened on April 12, 1958.
± 140 authentic buildings form the core of the heritage collection. In addition to these buildings, the collection also consists of tools and everyday objects; it all shows the daily life of the 17th century until 1950. There is also a separate section for only the Sixties.

The museum is characterized by its interactive and dynamic approach. There is for example a candy store where they make handmade sweets according to old recipes. And there are extensive catering facilities where you can taste traditional dishes.

For us there is a special reserved parking: Parking 1 - Castle 1; at the back.


At the beginning of the afternoon, a treasure rally leads you through the beautiful countryside of South Limburg back to Rolduc. En route there are a number of questions to be solved. Please note; it's not about speed; there's plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful places along the way and stop whenever you want to.

In the evening dinner (buffet) together in Rolduc, award ceremony tresure rally and Open End.

I'm sure that it will be great, Frank. However I am coming with the 75 V6 as it is a Rover meeting after all. (and it's more comfortable on a long run :wink: )
Ferry from Harwich all booked and I'm ready to go. I shouldn't wish my life away but roll on next May.
