The Duvelsklökske Cycle Route| Sagas & Legends

This is a story that fathers and mothers have been telling their children for centuries. Preferably when the wind is blowing around the house and it is bleak and dark outside. The children pass it on to their children. A story about a clock and a tower, a priest and a devil... This cycle route over the 18-kilometre junctions leads you along the exciting story.

If you drive down the dike from the weir and lock complex in Sambeek, you will see it in the distance: the Sint-Janstoren of Sambeek. It towers high above the Maasheggen landscape. It is not for nothing that the people of Sambek call the large medieval tower 'knoeper'. Once, on Christmas night, a devil danced around the spire. Get on your bike and join the search for a clock that disappeared. Prick up your ears, you might hear it ringing somewhere...
