You drive into the Leenderbos via the authentic hamlet of Leenderstrijp. Sand drifts and trees decorate the landscape here. The forests are becoming more and more varied and more and more forest animals are finding their way there. In De Malpie you cycle close to fens and a stream. Along the way you can view two mills. The Heimolen was built on a drifting sandhill and purchased by Staatsbosbeheer. In 1940 a heavy storm destroyed the mill, which would not be rebuilt until the 21st century. The Venbergse Watermolen was first mentioned in 1227, when the mill was owned by a sister order. In Soerendonk you get off for a cup of coffee at the beautiful café De Bout.
