Discover De Maashorst from Boekel

The area around Boekel has so much to offer! Go out and be surprised by the beautiful Brabant countryside. You start at De Mouthoeve, where you can first enjoy a cup of coffee and something tasty at Blizz at the Mouthoeve before you get on your bike. Then you cycle towards the Maashorst. In this vast nature reserve you cycle through deciduous and coniferous forests, you will also see remnants of the old farmland with fields, hedgerows and wet grasslands. Enjoy the silence for a while. The Maas once flowed here, but due to a fracture in the earth's crust the earth rose more and more. This pushed the Maas to the east and the land became higher and higher. This height is called a horst, hence the Maashorst.
