Sint Franciscusroute

This special pilgrimage takes you past religious heritage and through the stunning nature of the five church villages in the municipality of Rucphen. It is a route where effort, reflection, and relaxation go hand in hand. The Franciscus route is dedicated to Francis of Assisi, who lived from 1181 to 1226. During this journey, you will become better acquainted with the life of Francis, the patron saint of the Franciscus parish. In Sprundel, the heart as an aspect of reflection from Francis's life is central. In St. Willebrord, care for the sick is highlighted. In Zegge, faith is emphasised. In Rucphen, generosity is highlighted. And finally, in Schijf, love for animals and nature is mentioned. A unique journey where cultural history, nature experience, and personal reflection converge. The route is fully signposted. Along the route, you can make pleasant hospitality stops at multiple points.
