This circular walk offers you the opportunity to explore the beautiful nature around the Poor Clares and Franciscan monastery in the fortified city of Megen. Because of the large number of Franciscan brothers and sisters living in Megen, the city is also known as "Assisi on the Meuse," after the famous Italian pilgrimage site. The walking route starts at the Monastery of Saint Anthony of Padua and takes you past sights such as the Chapel of the Seven Sorrows and the Poor Clares Monastery of Saint Joseph's Mountain.
