Walking route Geldrop

This walking route takes you through Geldrop and through the Molenheide nature reserve. From the center you walk to the Kleine Dommel. Here you can see the Geldropse Molen, which originally dates from the fifteenth century. In the nineteenth century the textile industry emerged in Geldrop. In 1820 the mill was built into the wool fabric factory. Weverijmuseum Geldrop is now located in this building. A little later you enter the forest of the Molenheide. From junction 16 to 65 you walk on the old cotton path that was used by workers who walked from neighboring Mierlo to work in the Geldrop factories. Back in Geldrop you pass the castle with its English landscape garden. A little further on is the Sint-Brigidakerk from 1891. The route ends at Kaffee Peijnenburg & Hotel Nijver.
