In North Brabant you will still find the peace of yesteryear. This route takes you through the rural area between Roosendaal and Breda. You pass through many old hamlets, but also through the vast Rucphense Bossen.

Brabant hamlets
The first kilometers you drive through a landscape of fields, meadows and streams. You regularly pass a tree nursery, occasionally you pass a small forest plot. It is nice and quiet cycling here so close to the border with Belgium. The kilometers pass almost by themselves. You pass through old hamlets where time sometimes seems to have stood still. You also cycle a bit through the Lange Gooren and Krochten, an elongated nature reserve consisting of coniferous forests and marshes.

Estate Wallstein
Along quiet roads you arrive in Wallsteijn, an estate where pine trees, old oak avenues and agricultural land surrounded by wooded banks alternate. The neoclassical country house was built around 1810. Further on you drive through the vast Rucphense Bossen. Take a deep breath and enjoy the fragrant coniferous trees. At Rucphen you pass the Heimolen, a flour mill from 1844. The route ends at De Menmoerhoeve: time for a terrace!
