Arboretum Kalmthout

#hellohalloween Low-Cost, High-Atmosphere Outing (5/5 Stars) For budget travelers looking to celebrate #hellohalloween without spending a fortune, the Arboretum Kalmthout is perfect. The admission cost is minimal, yet the experience is rich with atmosphere. We took the scenic, two-hour route, enjoying the beautiful contrast of the last remaining green leaves against the ancient stone buildings and walls. The dormant witch hazel branches, though bare, seemed to possess a mysterious energy, hinting at the winter magic to come. It’s a slow, reflective, and wonderfully spooky way to spend an afternoon—far better than any over-priced seasonal event. The low ticket price means you can easily justify the transport costs to get here.
