Sint-Oedenrode, Schijndel and Eerde

Small heathlands, beautiful forests and grassy meadows... the Brabant landscape around Boxtel has a lot to offer. Het Elderbroek and de Geelders are a few of the national names you will encounter in the region; areas that are part of the Groene Woud National Landscape. Poplars and bird cherry grow on elongated embankments between the ditches. The soil contains a lot of loam, so that the soil retains a lot of moisture and the Beekse Waterloop can wind its way through the landscape. This is beneficial to the growth of the wood anemone, the slender primrose, the golden buttercup, valley herb, cranberry, black rapunzel, bell gentian and large club moss. The hawk, chiffchaff, whistler and mistle thrush feel very much at home here. Wijboschbroek is located north of Schijndel. The 248 hectare nature reserve was created because the original landscape was reclaimed. The loamy soil and the high water level and seepage waters allow unique flora to grow. In spring, wood anemone and slender primrose grow in gigantic numbers among the alder forests. Other rare species include common cranberry, large beetle orchid, woodland short-stemmed, and bald lady's mantle. Several woodpeckers drum on the tree trunks and the whistler, the nightingale and the yellowhammer make themselves heard, while the great crested newt and the moor frog prowl around on the banks of the waters. Surrounding grasslands complete the picture. At junction 21 in the route in Olland you can take a moment of rest during the cycle tour in the center and then continue to enjoy this cycle route. At family campsite Het Goeie leven you can enjoy a pleasant get-together. Eating at a large table with the other camping guests brings more conviviality and fun topics of conversation to the table. The sanitary facilities are cleaned well. So pitch your tent, caravan or camper at Het Goeie Leven, so that you can enjoy two beautiful bike rides in a few days. Route 135146 also starts and ends at this location.
