Heideroute along Mierlo, Geldrop and Heeze

From the parking lot you can drive straight onto the Strabrechtse Heide. In this beautiful nature reserve you can see how large parts of North Brabant used to be. You pass the Hoenderboom here. The borders of five surrounding municipalities once converged here. You can recognize this place by the copy of the old boundary marker. Further on, you cycle through the Molenheide, which was reclaimed just before the Second World War as a job creation project. Cycling through the greenery is wonderfully peaceful along the Eindhoven Canal. Via Geldrop Castle you drive to Kaffee Peijnenburg & Hotel Nijver for a cozy terrace. Then you cycle over the Leenderheide to Heeze. Here you can take a look at the beautiful Heeze Castle, after which you can take a break at Tapperij de Zwaan with a snack and drink.
