Merksplas lies on top of the two rivers Scheldt and Meuse. In the area arise many lakes, ponds, pools and ponds in the early days. It is today also surrounded by rural nature.
Merksplas is well known for the prison and the Center for refused asylum seekers, located in a beautiful protected area of some 600 hectares.
The silence and the beauty you can enjoy during a bicycle ride or walk along the marked footpaths and cycle routes.

As regards employment, we find the most workers in public administration and education service. This has to do with the establishment of the center for illegal immigrants and the prison in the territory Merksplas.
