Get on your bike and discover the surroundings of De Groote Heide. This heath, also called Leenderheide, is an extensive, dry heathland. From the parking lot you cycle to the Venbergsemolen, a watermill located on the Dommel. On the route you will also come across the Sint Antonius Abt windmill, which has been in Borkel en Schaft since 1865. During the Second World War, part of the mill was used as a field hospital, but after the war the mill was fully used to fulfill its old function.

In 1987 the mill was sold to the municipality of Valkenswaard, which had it restored. In 1990 it was ready for grinding again and was used regularly again. In 1999 the mill was added to the Mill Foundation 'Sint Antonius Abt'. The mill can also be visited
