Start: Brasserie Schutterslust in Molenschot (junction 28) or at
Eetcafé d'n Brooy, Gilze (junction 58).
Distance: 40 km

The Lourdes of the Northern Kempen
This magnificent tour through the ancient Ulvenhout woods and the rustic Markdal valley is a must-see!

Your destination is Meersel-Dreef, Belgium's northernmost village where the sculpture garden in the Maria Park will fully capture your attention. Father Jan Baptist Rutten founded a veritable Marian grotto here in 1895. Nearby is the monastery with the Capuchin church, which attracts thousands of believers every year.

De Zevenster playground and "Bij de Paters" tavern
But there is more, because next to the monastery and the church, you can let your children have their fun in playground De Zevenster, while you have a cold pint yourself on the terrace of tavern "Bij de Paters". And that big cone of real Belgian fries
completes the Burgundian life!
