The route starts at St. Godardus Church in the village of Bekkerzeel for a challenging hike along small country roads through a fairly hilly landscape. You’ll pass the Petrus Ascanus Chapel, built in 1891 in honor of Pieter Van der Slachmolen, a native of Asse, who, as a Franciscan friar, was hanged by the Watergeuzen in Den Briel, the Netherlands, in 1572. He was canonized in 1867 along with 18 fellow martyrs. The name Ascanus pops up here and there in Asse.
