Campine

The Campine (French, local name in Dutch: De Kempen) is a natural region situated chiefly in north-eastern Belgium and parts of the south-western Netherlands which once consisted mainly of extensive moors, tracts of sandy heath, and wetlands. It encompasses the east of Antwerp province and a part of Limburg province in Belgium (a former coal-producing region), as well as part of the Dutch province of North Brabant located southwest of Eindhoven and the Dutch province of Limburg around Weert.
