    Hiking

    The impressive Willibrordus Basilica is considered the most important religious monument in the country. Built in the 11th century, it was rebuilt in the original Romanesque style after heavy destruction during World War II. The crypt contains frescoes from the 11th century and houses the tomb of the saint. A Willibrordus source attracts many pilgrims seeking healing from their illnesses (including eczema). In the middle of the city lies the old parish church of St. Peter and Paul.
