Historic cycle route through Brabant

From Oosterhout you first follow De Donge for a long way along 's Gravenmoer: this is, strangely enough, not a river but a lowland stream. It is formed by groundwater and rainwater that merge into a stream. After a cup of coffee at Brasserie Uilenbosch you get back on your bike. After a visit to the Beguinage Breda you cycle around the Asterdplas. A little later you cross the Mark towards Terheijden. Here you will find De Kleine Schans, a remnant from the Eighty Years' War and was built by the Spanish in 1590. In 1637 the Dutch troops gave the fortress its current form and used it as a protective structure for shipping on the Mark and the connection between Breda and Moerdijk. You cycle back via the Houtse Meer.
