Enjoy the Meierij

The route starts at De Helden van Kien, a cozy catering pavilion in the beautiful De Kienehoef park. Enjoy something delicious here before you drive into the Meierij. You cycle through a small-scale landscape of nature, estates and agricultural land. 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 The Pelican. On the edge of Halder you have a magnificent view over the Dommel and Nieuw-Herlaer, a centuries-old castle, located on the other side. Cross the Dommel again in Sint-Michielsgestel. You will see a freestanding tower, the remains of a fifteenth-century church.
