Cycling route Bergeijk and Luyksgestel

You will find plenty of peace and natural beauty around the Brabant villages of Bergeijk and Luyksgestel. You start this route at the Deen, a flour mill from 1839 that was built on behalf of a Danish miller. Then you drive into nature. Here you cycle through a mix of forests, grasslands and fields. In Bergeijk you can get off and grab a nice terrace at Hotel Restaurant BEAU. From the village you drive into an area where several old fish ponds and water meadows lie like a pearl on the Beekloop. At the time of the Republic of the United Netherlands, Luyksgestel formed an enclave that was owned by the Prince-Bishopric of Liège. The name of the village still refers to this: it means the frame (a high and dry area) of Liège.
