The Dommeldal and the Stiphoutse Bossen

The Dommeldal between Eindhoven and Nuenen is a surprisingly beautiful cycling area. Further on you drive through the extensive Stiphoutse Bossen.

Liberation Route
Along the Dommel you drive through an authentic small-scale landscape. You will see wet and flowery grasslands, and willows, poplars and birches also grow here. Near the river you can also cycle through the beautiful Eckartdal Estate. Here you will see, among other things, an eighteenth-century castle farm. At listening point L112 you will hear the story about a cold-blooded gardener who prevented the Germans from crossing a bridge over the Dommel with a convincing speech.

Van Gogh
North of Nuenen you drive through an old field landscape and you will see Mill de Roosdonck from 1884. This mill was drawn no fewer than seven times by Van Gogh. A little later you cycle through the Stiphoutse Bossen. What a wonderful silence you experience here between the many coniferous trees.
