Religious heritage around Dendermonde-Buggenhout. Cycle route 'Lovely churches and chapels'

During this cycle route we focus on the influence of the secular lords in building churches and chapels and as founders and patrons of various religious institutions. This is the heart of the mighty medieval glory of the Land of Dendermonde! What else is 'delicious' in the Dendermonde-Buggenhout region? The abbey beers! In Dendermonde you can enjoy the blonde Dendermonds Abbey beer. Buggenhout is home to the famous Tripel Karmeliet!

The route starts in Dendermonde and leads you along the rivers to Vlassenbroek and Baasrode. In the wooded Buggenhout we visit Opdorp, Buggenhout and Opstal.

The bicycle brochure 'Lovely churches and chapels' is available free of charge at the tourist offices of Dendermonde and Buggenhout. The 'open church' Onze-Lieve-Vrouw in Dendermonde also offers the brochures as well as several other churches along the route.

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