Tour of 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 heaths. 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 in the rural area, a flour mill from 1937. You cycle back through Budel-Dorplein. In the middle of the Loozerheide, a zinc factory was built here in 1892 with houses and facilities for the workers. The area is a protected village view, the buildings are located between the coniferous forests.
