Walking route Leende and Leenderbos

After a cup of coffee at Brasserie Cozy, put on your walking shoes. Then you set off through Leenderstrijp. In this small village you can see some beautiful old Kempen long-gable farms. Just outside the village you can turn left from Kapelstraat to view the beautiful St. John's Chapel. This monument dates from 1843. Further on you will pass the Heimolen, a flour mill from 1754. The Leenderbos is mainly planted with Scots pines that were once intended for mining timber, but you will also see heathland, fens, drifting dunes and winding paths. For example, the route leads along the Brilven. This beautiful forest area never gets boring. On the small heathlands you can encounter the nightjar or the gentian blue. The last part of the route you walk through the beautiful old Leende.
