In Brabant Peel you can take a nice walk near the old village of Heusden. The route leads you through the varied nature reserve the White Mountains.

Atmospheric Heusden
Heusden is located in the Peel, a former swamp area on the border of Limburg and North Brabant. Now you walk through a landscape of agricultural lands, forests and stream valleys. What remains of the past is the wonderful peace and quiet that you find here. In Heusden you can admire the beautiful neo-Gothic village church from 1921. At Paulus food and drink you can enjoy a drink with fresh apple pie, a well-filled lunch or dinner.

White Mountains
The forest around the Witte Bergen fishing pond is located on the edge of the original Peel. This was once a vast sand drift, the name Witte Bergen still refers to this. Production forests were planted here around 1925 as part of job creation. It is wonderful to walk here among the fragrant conifers. On the banks of the pond you can relax and look out over the rippling water. The pond was created in the 1960s, after sand was excavated for the construction of a provincial road.
