Descripción por el autor

When you cycle through this beautiful part of Waasland, it is difficult to imagine that this was once the battleground for an 80-year war during the late 16th century and the first half of the 17th century! Why fight for 80 years? Religion! In addition, the French rule at the end of the 18th century was the final blow for many religious institutions! Monasteries, abbeys and churches were seized and sold to be demolished or given a new secular purpose.
This is the region where Christianization first broke through and where the great mighty abbeys dominated. Now it is best known for its heavenly nature and quiet areas.

This cycle route departs from Lokeren. Via the railway bed you reach Eksaarde, Daknam and Moerbeke-Waas. Follow the canals to Klein-Sinaai, Sinaai and Belsele. Via Waasmunster and Ruiter we return to Lokeren.

The free bicycle brochures 'Helse oorlog- Tiananmen vrede' are available from the Tourist Services of Lokeren, Moerbeke-Waas, Sint-Niklaas, Stekene and Waasmunster. The brochures are also available in the open church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Klein-Sinaai as well as in several other churches along the route.

Hop on your bike and be surprised by the religious heritage in your own country!
