Tour of Heusden, Udenhout and Loon op Zand

From Waalwijk, you'll experience a day of cycling full of variety. You'll cycle through the woods to the Drongelens Canal, after which you'll head north on a leafy path. Between junction 70 and Doeveren, you'll ride along a fifteenth-century dike through the Elshoutse Wielen: a beautiful nature reserve with some sixteen "wielen" (lakes). Most of these lakes were created by dike breaches. Via charming Doeveren, you'll ride along the Meuse River for a while, after which you'll pass through the old fortified town of Heusden. In Elshout, you'll see, among other things, the St. John the Evangelist from 1878. In the heart of the Loonse en Drunense Dunes National Park, you'll pass through picturesque Giersbergen, and just outside Udenhout, you'll pass a beautiful Marian chapel. Via Loon op Zand and again through the woods, you'll cycle back to restaurant De Galgenwiel.
