Birthday ride

Your cycle route starts at Bavaria Brewery Cafe in Lieshout. The Nuenens Broek, a marsh forest, was originally a swamp area, poplars were planted here in the thirties. As soon as you leave the forest, you will see the basin of the Kleine Dommel. Along the Dommel you drive through an authentic small-scale landscape. You will see wet and flowery grasslands, willows, poplars and birches also grow here. At listening point L112 you can hear the story about a cold-blooded gardener who prevented the Germans from crossing a bridge over the Dommel. The Vresselse Bos was planted in the 1920s on a cover sand ridge, you can see Scots pines, oaks and beech. De Leest is the last point of interest on your route: it is a flour mill from 1899.
