Tour of Strabrechtse Heide and Heeze Castle

Your cycling route starts in the woods around Heeze. Just before Heeze you pass Heeze Castle, one of the last inhabited castles in the Netherlands. The castle has been renovated and expanded several times since the seventeenth century. The original castle, which now forms the middle part of the castle, dates from the Middle Ages. Take a break at Lunchcafé & Patisserie Beyond, in cozy Nuenen! Then you take a beautiful route along the fens on the Braakhuizense and the Strabrechtse Heide. These attract not only lizards, but also moor frogs and common toads. And sundew, bell gentian, white and brown beak rush, field feather and gale grow well in the dry area. A herd of 300 Kempen sheep grazes the heath on the Lieropse Heide.
