The Glowing Cycle Route | Sagas & Legends

Here in the Brabant village of Eersel, about two hundred years ago, people didn't have much money. Still, they were happy and content. Except for one man. He was alone. Without wife, children and friends. That was not surprising. Because this man had only one dream: to become rich... This cycle route over the 30-kilometre junctions leads you along the exciting story.

In the Kempen, friends and family liked to get together in the evening. Then they told each other scary stories. Especially the story of the 'Glowing One' was gladly told. This burning ghostly apparition popped up all over the area. Here he left his mark, including blackened footprints that can still be found everywhere... Once upon a time, the Glowing One was a stately lord of Eersel. But because of his greed, there is now a curse on him. Find out why the Glowing One was cursed. And where you can bump into him...
