Enjoy the Meierij

The route starts at De Helden van Kien, a cozy catering pavilion in the beautiful park De Kienehoef. Enjoy something tasty here before you drive into the Meierij. You cycle through a small-scale landscape of nature, country estates and farmland. Poplars often grow along the roads. These trees were mainly planted in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The wood from the poplars was sold to the local clog and match factories. There is also no shortage of cultural history. In Maaskantje you can see De Pelikaan. On the edge of Halder you have a magnificent view over the Dommel and Nieuw-Herlaer, an ancient castle on the other side. You also cross the Dommel again in Sint-Michielsgestel. You will see a separate tower, the remains of a fifteenth-century church.
