Kempen

The Kempen region is a sandy plain, dotted with bogs, moors, and marshes. It is bordered by the Demer River on the south and the [meuse] on the east, and it extends through the [pantwerp] and [plimburg] provinces up into the Netherlands. Cistercian monks settled and developed the most hospitable portions of the Kempen beginning in the 12th century, establishing institutions such as [tongabbe] and [postabbe], and planting pine forests. Though not the most densely populated area of Belgium, certain towns such as [mol] are heavily industrialized. The soil is poor, so there is little agricultural activity.
