A beautiful, sturdy bridge. On the Grave side. You can see a bunker. There's a monument next to it with information about the Second World War. Turning the wheel plays a spoken commentary. Definitely worth listening to.

The plot of land on which the chapel stands was likely donated to the Benedictine abbey of Keizersweerd near Düsseldorf in 855. Later, it came into the possession of the Benedictine monastery in Valéry-sur-Somme (north of Paris). The name "Walrick" likely derives from this. The monastery property also included two farms. The current chapel dates from the 15th century. A much larger ruin stood there a hundred years ago. Just as excavations were underway and the ruin was about to be restored, World War II broke out. The Allies were not very careful with the ruin, and little remained. After the war, the chapel was partially rebuilt with old stones from the former castle of Balgoij. Architectural history research has revealed that the chapel once had an attic. Presumably, therefore, the building served not only as a house of worship but also as a hermitage.

In the heart of the forests of the Hatertse and Overasseltse Vennen lies the remarkable chapel of St. Walrick and its accompanying fever tree. The site has become a place of pilgrimage, where for centuries people have hung rags in the tree to cure illness. Legend of the fever tree In the 8th century, the robber chieftain Walrick accidentally captured the great preacher Willibrord. Willibrord persuaded Walrick to convert to Christianity, but only if Willibrord cured his sick daughter. This indeed happened, partly because the daughter hung a rag from a piece of clothing in the tree near the chapel. Fever tree The 'fever tree' does not last forever – so it is clear that its healing role must be taken over by a new tree every so often. The current oak is about a hundred years old.

The John S. Thompson Bridge, located near Grave, is a strategic bridge over the Maas River, officially known as the Bridge at Grave. It was named in honor of Lt. Col. John S. Thompson, commander of the 82nd Airborne Regiment, which successfully captured the bridge during Operation Market Garden (September 1944). The airborne units captured the bridge virtually intact, preserving a vital link in the Allied advance toward Nijmegen and Arnhem. A small monument commemorates this action stands on the north side. The bridge is therefore an important war memorial in the Maas-Grave area.

A place with a ritual.

Beautiful place to perform another ritual on the Walk of Wisdom.

The Kraaijenbergse Plassen form an extensive lake area of over 400 ha. The lakes are located in the municipality of Land van Cuijk. The lakes have been created since 1968 by the extraction of industrial sand, gravel and clay. You can cycle and walk around the lakes and there are many water sports to practice. There are several catering establishments around the lakes.
