Cycling past war memorials and commemorative art
In the heart of Asten, Mary stands guard at the Lievenhuis: on the globe, she is crushing a dragon—an echo of the Hitler regime. A little further on, a monument adds a splash of colour to the edge of the village, in memory of 16 French airmen. Two stories that give this cycle tour its special atmosphere.
Important to note: some monuments and artworks are located in a pedestrian zone. Here, you can walk with your bike by your side.
