Tour of Leenderbos and Zevenhuizense Heide

Your route starts at Wandelpark, a nice spot in the middle of the green. All around you will find a typical coniferous and heathland area with many constructed paths, so that cyclists and hikers can get the most out of their route. In Sterksel there is a statue of an ox: the local inhabitants made it because of the development activities. The Sint-Catharinakerk is also worth a visit. Via the nice hamlet of Leenderstrijp and the beautiful Leenderbos you cycle back, past De Riesten - Onderduikplek. In this impenetrable area there were dredging pits where young men hid to escape the Arbeidseinsatz. For acquaintances there were several ways to escape. The hiding place was betrayed at the end of the occupation, but fortunately the people in hiding were helping with the harvest at the time.
