Tour of Oudenbosch, Visdonk Estate and Roosendaal

Your route starts at Onder de Toren. Along the Mark-Vlietkanaal you cycle towards Stampersgat, where you follow the dike along the Markvallei for a while. At the beautiful Markt of Oudenbosch you can visit the Basilica of Saints Agatha and Barbara from 1880. This is a modest copy of St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. Further on you cycle past the Visdonk estate, a varied area with old lanes, forest and heath. At the Environmental Education Centre Watermolenbeek (MEC) you can learn everything about this special environment. In the Middle Ages a lively trade in peat developed here, which was exported via the Roosendaal harbour to England and France. At that time the Vliet was still in open connection with the North Sea. A shortcut through Roosendaal brings you back to the start.
