From Boxtel through the Brabant forests

Just outside Boxtel you can enjoy cycling. First you drive into the woods on the edge of De Kampina. It is also wonderful to cycle between the coniferous trees in the adjacent Oisterwijkse Fens. You pass a number of the pools for which this nature reserve is known. Get off to enjoy the silence around these waters and drink a cup of coffee on the terrace of Boshuys Hermitage. Further on you cycle through the Mortelen, a small-scale bocage landscape of poplar forests, coniferous forests and grass and arable land. Here you seem to cycle back in time to the old-fashioned Brabant countryside before the land consolidation. In Liempde, time seems to have stood still in the Dorpsstraat. You cycle back to the starting point along the Dommel.
