Along the Liesbos
Highlight (Segment) • Forest
History: The Liesbos is first mentioned in a charter of Hendrik V, lord of Breda, from 1268. This forest on the border of Princenhage and Etten, named after the hamlet of Lies, is one of the oldest deciduous forests in the Netherlands. From the beginning of the fifteenth century until 1795, it was owned by the Nassaus, later Oranje-Nassaus, as lords of Breda. In 1795 it came to the State and now falls under Staatsbosbeheer. The Liesbos was used for hunting, a favorite activity of the high nobility such as the Oranje-Nassaus, and for timber production. It was surrounded by a wall so that game could not escape from the forest and conversely the farmers' cattle could not damage the forest. Nowadays, the recreational and nature function of the forest is paramount.

Maria Chapel Moerdijksepostbaan
Highlight • Religious Site
straw roofing. The interior has a brick vault. Against the blind closing sides are at the back
a small brick altar depicting Mary and child with associated texts arranged in segmental savings fields. A framed glass mosaic shows a crowned Lady with a child in her arm. To the left and right of this we read the painted text: “Sancta Maria succere misereris juva pusillanimes refove flebilis ora pro populi” and the translation: “Holy Mary, help us poor people, support the faint-hearted, awaken the accustomed, pray for the people”. Painted tendrils of foliage and floral motifs surround both texts
