Hiking

Saint Martin, to whom this house of God is consecrated, is - next to Saint Nicholas - one of the most popular saints of all. The memorial day of the former officer in the Roman army is November 11th. On the night after the famous “coat sharing”, when he surrendered half his army cloak to a freezing beggar, Jesus Christ appears to him in a dream. Martin then converted to Christianity and was later elected Bishop of Tours (France) - initially against his will.

Hiking

The Sint-Martinuskerk of Oombergen is a Gothic cruciform basilica with a surrounding graveyard. The nave of the original Romanesque hall church from the first half of the 12th century has been preserved. In 1147, Bishop Nicolaus of Cambrai donated the church to the Benedictine abbey of Saint-Ghislain.

The former parsonage garden, to the left of and behind the church, was transformed into a meeting place and play forest, drOOmbergen, also a beautiful passage to the Oomberg forests.
