Description
The border region between the Netherlands and Belgium near Hilvarenbeek consists of a vast forest area. Green estates, expansive forests, and meadows merge seamlessly here. This route takes you through this nature-rich area in North Brabant and across the Belgian border.
Wellenseind Estate
At the start of this route, you cycle across the Wellenseind estate. On this estate, you will find two streams meandering through the landscape, green stream valleys, cover sand ridges, and wooded drift sands. Since 1915, the old agricultural landscape of this estate has been transformed into a beautiful nature reserve. You head through this area towards Lage Mierde and then to Hilvarenbeek. Next, you cycle across the Belgian border to the Belgian towns of Weelde and Ravels. Surrounding these villages, you will find the Gewestbossen (Regional Forests). Until the beginning of the 20th century, this was a gently rolling heathland with drift sands and fens. Since then, beautiful deciduous and coniferous forests have been planted.
