Overloonse Duinen route

This route takes you through the beautiful rural area around Venray. You will find plenty of beautiful nature reserves here, such as the forests of Landgoed Geijsteren, which you drive through first. You cycle through Maashees and Holthees, after which you explore the gently rolling coniferous forests of the Overloonse Duinen. The Battle of Overloon took place in this area during the Second World War: a devastating tank battle. Further on you cycle through the Hondsbergen and the Zwartwater, two quiet nature reserves. In the church village of Merselo you will pass the Nooit Gedacht flour mill, which dates from 1867. You drive through the countryside to Venray. Here you pass Sint Petrus, a flour mill from 1856. In the center of Venray you can admire the Grote Kerk. The route ends at Pannenkoekenhuis De Perdstal.
