Description

The route starts at football club Viola in Alphen NB at Speelveld 3.
Parking is possible. The route soon runs through the Alphen countryside and passes the most famous murder case of Alphen and Baarle Nassau: Meske Vermoord!

It is January 14, 1872 when the two sisters from Alphen, Jana and Lieske van Tilburg, set foot from Alphen to Baarle. On the way they pay a short visit to Cornelis Verheijen's farm at Boschoven. There they meet Sjefke van der Zanden around half past two in the afternoon. Sjefke has been trying for some time to restore the broken relationship between him and Jana. However without success. Jana doesn't want to know anything more about him. When the sisters move on, Sjefke follows them.
Near Baarle Boschoven (alphense road fork) he manages to catch up with the girls. Again he opens up to Jana about mending their courtship. Again without success. Sjefke loses his senses and starts stabbing Jana like crazy with his knife, after he has first knocked her to the ground. Sister Lieske tries to intervene, but can do nothing more than flee. The eighteen stabs inflicted prove to be fatal.
