Tour Weerterbos and Budel-Dorplein

Between Budel and Weert it is wonderfully quiet cycling in a natural landscape. You drive through the Weerterbos, but also through the historic Budel-Dorplein. From your starting point you drive through the Weerter and Budelerbergen into the Weerterbos. This is one of the few truly ancient forests in the area. This nature reserve consists of a beautiful mix of moist and dry forests, grassland plots and small heathlands. There are even red deer. Stop for a cup of coffee at Huyskamer Daatjeshoeve or Restaurant-brasserie De Coockpit. A little further on you will come across the Janzona, a flour mill from 1937, in the rural area. You cycle back through Budel-Dorplein. A zinc factory was built here in the middle of the Loozerheide in 1892 with houses and facilities for the workers among the coniferous forests.
