Description by the author

The church of Lissewege is a standout among churches. Our Lady of the Visitation was built from 1225 to 1275 and is a prime example of Scheldt Gothic architecture in the Netherlands.

This route completely follows the cycling junctions and is perfectly suited for a day trip.
