Through the greenery of North Brabant

Armed with a pocket book to recognize plants, you will be able to identify many different species on the Neterselse heath. Swamp club moss, common sedge, bell gentian, white beak rush and sundew, it can all be found in the 229 hectare Neterselse Heide.

The heathland consists mainly of wet heath, although there are also dry areas. There is also a rare forest type: birch forest. The soft birch grows slowly here on an acidic, nutrient-poor soil. The trees are relatively not high, they do not grow taller than 5 to 10 meters. Heather, gale, peat moss and humpback moss grow between the trees. The hen harrier, wood lark and stonechat whistle their song in the trees and provide a cacophony of sound as you make your way through the Brabant greenery.

When you return to Auberge De Hilver, where the route starts and ends, settle down on the terrace. Experience the Brabant friendliness and let your tongue be caressed by the surprisingly tasty regional dishes on the menu. If you want to see more of the area, book a stay there. The rooms in the cozy inn are very attractive. The bicycles are safely stored in the shed (with an electric charging point), so that you can go for a ride the next day.
