    Hiking

    Behind the church are the chapel of the Procession and the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Here, Leonie Van den Dijck, usually called Leonieke or Nieke, is said to have seen the Virgin Mary no fewer than 36 times. This happened on August 4 and October 19, 1933. Today, it remains a modest place of pilgrimage.

    Hiking

    The chapel belongs to the pilgrimage site of Onkerzele.
    The pilgrimage site consists of four parts:

    The chapel above the Lourdes Grotto at the church of Onkerzele, with the apparition chapel on the far right, where Our Lady appeared in 1933;
    Nieke's grave behind the St. Martin's Church;
    Nieke's house, which is now a small museum (Kampstraat 44 in Onkerzele);
    And finally the procession of Our Lady of the 7 Sorrows.
