Cycling around Helmond: nature and culture

Today you will cycle through a mosaic of nature reserves, agricultural lands and charming old towns. Some of these villages are now part of Helmond as a district. You will loosen up your legs in the rural area south of Helmond. Here you will find the characteristic Brabant countryside of fields, meadows and forests. Near Mierlo you will pass De Ellenaar, a corn mill from 1851. In't Broek there are still many typical old long-façade farms. You will feel like you are driving back in time here, beautiful! Further on you will cycle along the Wilhelmina Canal for a while and through Aarle-Rixtel. You will cycle through the Grotelse Bos, in Bakel you will see the Sint-Willebrordus, a corn mill from 1586. You will cycle back to the starting point through the Bakelse Bos.
