This cross was originally erected in 1890. This wooden cross with a wooden corpus was replaced by a concrete cross and corpus after the 1940-45 war. The cross was erected in gratitude for the return of Verstegen and Rogels from Germany. Both men had been arrested in a raid in 1944 and deported to Germany. The corpus originates from Kevelaer. The letters INRI are the first letters of Jezus Nazarenus Rex Judaeorum (Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews). This inscription was located at the top of the cross of Christ.

Crib walk

Grazers on large flat meadows in the Deurnsche Peel

This walk takes you through the unique raised bog area of the Deurnsche Peel and Mariapeel, one of the last remnants of the vast peat landscape that once covered large parts of East Brabant and Limburg. This nature reserve is of international importance and is part of the Natura 2000 network, as it is home to rare plants and animals that depend on wet peatlands. The landscape is impressive and at times almost surreal: vast plains of peat moss, swamp forests, open ponds, and rugged reed beds. In summer, the area turns purple with flowering heather, while in autumn and winter, the mists over the water create a mystical atmosphere. Everywhere you hear the calls of birds – from cranes and geese that land here during migration to rare species such as the bluethroat, bittern, and snipe. The Deurnsche Peel and Mariapeel also have a rich cultural history. For centuries, peat was cut here for fuel, shaping the landscape into its current form. Remnants of old peat canals and quays still recall that time. Today, parts of the area have been re-watered to restore the raised bog, allowing it to regrow – a process that takes decades. The walking paths meander along narrow boardwalks, open marshlands, and tranquil forest edges. It is a place where silence and vastness prevail, and where you truly feel like you've stepped into another world.

It's a beautiful location for an easy hike.

After investigation by volunteers, four locations of aircraft crash sites in the Mariapeel were found. A monument was placed opposite the crash site of a British fighter plane, a Vickers Wellington crashed here on March 14, 1941. Impressive monument and beautiful view of the fen.
