Tour of Schaijk, Zeeland and Reek

This route takes you through the varied landscape around Schaijk. First you drive through the vast landscape along the Oude Maas and the Hamelspoel, a former river arm. In Herpen you pass the fifteenth-century Church of Saint Sebastian & Saint Hubertus. Further on you drive through the pleasant Schaijk. Here you can take a look at the St. Anthony Abbot Church, which originally dates from 1754. The current version was completed in 1902. The adjacent parsonage dates from 1865. The route also takes you through the forests of the Maashorst, one of the largest contiguous nature reserves in Brabant. In the village of Zeeland you drive past two old flour mills: the Dageraad and the Coppensmolen. You drive back to Reek through the Mineursberg nature reserve. Time for a terrace at De Linde.
