Description
The route starts and ends at Tilburg station. It contains some unpaved but passable sections. These are to be avoided; the route becomes shorter as a result.
From the station we drive east, following the railway line to Eindhoven. Here you ride on one of the oldest cycle paths in the Netherlands, originally leading from Tilburg University in the west to the border of the built-up area of Oisterwijk in the east. The cycle path now continues: follow it along the Voorste Stroom to the center of Oisterwijk, at junction 16.
You are now at the beginning of De Lind , the vibrant heart of Oisterwijk. There are numerous shops and catering establishments here. We cross De Lind and pass Oisterwijk station , the tourist office and a war memorial, before returning to the other end of De Lind. Here you will find the Johanneskerk , a kiosk and the town hall .
Continuing our way we pass another war memorial. After crossing the Voorste and Achterste Stroom you will come to a deer park . Here you turn left. There are many recreational facilities on Vennelaan, including a Piet Plezier , a miniature golf course and a playground .
We turn right here, onto Adervendreef. On your left you will see the Staalbergven , a natural pool. Follow the Adervendreef until it bends to the right. Here you go straight ahead. This is a dirt road. Follow this for a while and then turn left until you reach a paved road at brasserie De Belvertshoeve , the Scheibaan. Here you turn left. Follow this road until junction 77. If you prefer not to follow unpaved roads, you can also follow the Vennelaan straight ahead at Piet Plezier until you arrive at junction 77.
From junction 77 follow the Posthoornseweg towards junction 88. You will pass an information panel. From junction 88 you go via junction 45 to junction 87. This route forms the border between the Oisterwijkse Vennen (right) and the Kampina Heide (left). You will also find many fens on the heath.
From junction 87, follow the Fransebaan towards junctions 86 and 22. Here you will find pancake house De Ontking . We continue to junctions 85 (in the hamlet of Heikant) and 79. Here you take a narrow cycle path towards café Boshuis Venkraai . Just before the café you will find the Groot Kolkven on your left.
We continue our way past a pottery to restaurant Kleijn Speijk , after which we drive back south to restaurant Groot Speijk . The visitor center for the Oisterwijkse Vennen is also located here. In the woods to your right is the grounds of the De Hondsberg Foundation for children with mild intellectual disabilities.
Drive to junction 14, and from there take the road to Moergestel . Just before you reach the built-up area, you will see a Marian chapel on your left. Shortly afterwards, turn right onto the Heukelomsebaan. After a few kilometers you will pass the old café Mie Pieters . From here you follow Baaneind, Oisterwijkse Baan and Zandeind, passing under a viaduct twice.
Via the hamlet of Moerenburg and café Zomerlust you finally return to the built-up area of Tilburg via the Wilhelmina Canal. Here the route takes us past the completely renovated Piushaven with De Werf marina and several nice new restaurants.
Past the palace-town hall of Tilburg, the Heikese Church , the chapel of Our Lady of Need , the tourist office and the Hiroshima monument , you finally return to Tilburg station.
