Tour of Lieshout: Molenheide and Van Gogh

Your route starts with a cup of coffee at the Bavaria Brewery Café. De Leest is the first point of interest on your route: it is a flour mill from 1899. You cross the Wilhelmina Canal and walk into the woods of the Molenheide. The heath is slowly being restored here, the former production forest is becoming more and more varied. Special are the hundreds of dead trees that have been left behind after a storm, which ensure a beautiful cycle. This creates a more natural forest. When you walk back into Lieshout you will pass Van Gogh Monument windmill De Vogelenzang. Vincent van Gogh lived and worked from December 1883 to November 1885 in nearby Nuenen. He made almost a quarter of his total oeuvre in this region.
