Tour of Leenderbos and Zevenhuizense Heide

A typical coniferous and heathland area with many landscaped paths, so that cyclists and walkers can get the most out of their route. In Sterksel there is a statue of an ox: the local residents made it because of the mining activities. St. Catherine's Church is also worth a visit. You cycle back via the nice hamlet of Leenderstrijp and the beautiful Leenderbos, past De Riesten - Onder duikplek. In this impenetrable area there were dredging pits where young men hid to escape the Labor Seinsatz. There were several ways for acquaintances to escape. The hiding place was betrayed at the end of the occupation, but fortunately the people in hiding were helping with the harvest.
