Through the land of the Eight Beatitudes

In the past, heathland, oak forests, fens and peatlands stretched out on the sandy soil of De Kempen. After 1960, this landscape changed into smaller-scale pieces of heathland with marshes, dunes and pine trees. The high concentration of agricultural companies and the vast fields and meadows that go with them are characteristic of this region. As a result, you have a wide view around Reusel.

Brabantian cosiness
In the middle of this nature reserve lies the Brabant village of Reusel. The village cosiness within the built-up area is a good addition to the peace that prevails in the Kempen. Feel free to take a break here to have a drink on a terrace in the centre of the village. The start and end point of this cycle route is at Taverne D\\\'n Ouwe Brandtoren. In 1933 a house was built in the woods between Reusel and Postel for the foreman of the municipality who was involved in the afforestation of the heath.

Fascinating history in Reusel
In Reusel you can visit Museum De Bewogen Jaren. This is especially recommended if you are interested in the Second World War and the Dutch East Indies. You will find all kinds of utensils from military history and civil history from this period. Think of items from internment camps and old uniforms of soldiers.
