Description
Smakt-Holthees is a special twin village. Where Smakt belongs to Limburg, Holthees is in Noord-Brabant. With this walking route you will explore beautiful rural surroundings on the border of these two provinces.
Pilgrimage site Smakt
Near the starting point of your route, you will pass the Saint Joseph Chapel from 1699. The chapel was mainly built because churchgoers found the distance to the parish church in Venray too great to attend early mass. Incidentally, Smakt is the only place of pilgrimage for Saint Joseph in the Netherlands. West of Smakt you will walk for a while through the fragrant coniferous forest that belongs to the Overloonse Duinen nature reserve.
Chapel Holthees
You walk a bit along the babbling Loobeek where you pass a war memorial in memory of the Second World War. In Holthees you pass a religious monument: the Chapel of Our Lady, which originally dates from the fifteenth century. The accompanying bell tower dates from 1639. South of Holthees you walk over Op De Bus, a road through a former marshland.
