Beautiful municipality of Ravels with a cross-border piece of “Landgoed de Utrecht”

Cycling through the Belgian-Dutch border area between Turnhout and Tilburg offers you a view of authentic Brabant. You will find extensive forests, tranquility and the proverbial Belgian and Brabant conviviality.

Regional forests
The route starts at the Tourist Office Ravels. Here you will find all the information you need to make your stay in this region a great memory. First you cycle through Ravels, a beautiful village where you can still see a few old farms. In Ravels you can see the Nachtegaal der Maatvennen, a flour mill from 1869. A little later you cycle into the Gewestbossen. You can enjoy the silence and the natural beauty here.

Estate de Utrecht
The Turnhouts Vennengebied is a beautiful wide and open nature reserve. You will see moors, small forests and meadows rich in birds. You just cross the border to cycle through the Brabant countryside. Just across the border in Belgium you pass through Poppel: a beautiful and cozy village. You cross the border into the Netherlands again, this time you drive through the forests of Landgoed de Utrecht. Back in Ravels you can grab a terrace.
