Cycling to the center of Den Bosch

In his hit "Brabant" Guus Meeuwis pays tribute to this province. That his ode to Brabant is justified becomes clear when you explore the area between the capital of Brabant 's-Hertogenbosch and the surrounding church villages on this fun bike ride. Hundreds of national monuments and three protected cityscapes make Den Bosch an atmospheric city that has a lot to offer from a historical point of view. The city is best known for the enormous St. John's Cathedral that adorns the city center. This can rightly be called a highlight of late Brabant Gothic. The medieval city center is one of the oldest and most complete in the Netherlands and the city center is the largest walled area in the Netherlands. The oldest still existing brick house in the Netherlands is also located in Den Bosch; the tourist office is currently located there. Take a trip on the fully restored Binnendieze, to be able to admire the city underground as well. The Pelikaan mill near Den Dungen is also a nice sight. The mill was built in 1864, but suffered the fate that many mills suffer: in 1923 it burned down completely. The mill was rebuilt with parts from a Helmond mill. According to an anecdote, the miller accidentally ground almost 200 guilders with the mill in 1929, not knowing that the bag he emptied into the grinding trough contained a box of money.
