Discover the beautiful surroundings of Galder and Rijsbergen. You start at Het Wapen Van Galder, near the Galderse Lakes and the Mastbos. Enjoy a variety of lunch dishes, dinner or just a nice cup of coffee here. You then cycle straight through De Pannenhoef, a beautiful Brabant nature reserve that lies between Zundert, Etten-Leur and Rijsbergen. Because the gigantic surface of heaths was cultivated from the fifteenth century and farms, villages and towns sprouted like mushrooms, a large part of the Brabant landscape has changed. In the twentieth century, hard work was done to restore the nature reserve and with success; several old fens were excavated again and rare plants that had disappeared due to peat extraction returned. Forest, fens and flowery meadows characterize the Pannenhoef.
