A relaxing day in East Brabant

This route takes you to the eastern side of North Brabant. You cycle through a mosaic of fields, meadows and streams. You also cycle along the Maas for a while. You see authentic Maas hedges here. A true cultural heritage, because hedge weaving was already done in Roman times. Julius Caesar described his annoyance about it, it took him a lot of effort to pass these green walls with his army. Past Vierlingsbeek you come through the Hondsbergen. On this elongated sandy ridge there are a few heathlands and fens. The forest is mainly home to conifers. Just before Oploo you pass the Olliemeulen, a beautiful water mill from 1725. Nearby you can also see the Korenbloem, a corn mill from around 1800.
