Description

On the edge of Mierlo you walk through the Molenheide nature reserve. Put on your walking shoes and come and enjoy the peace and natural beauty.

Lands
Enjoy a drink and something tasty at De Strabrechtse Hoeve, so that you set off with sufficient energy. The first part of the route you walk on low-traffic roads through the farmlands just below Mierlo. A leafy environment where you can calmly get into your rhythm, while you walk past farms, meadows and fields. Castle Mierlo stood in this area from the twelfth century: the last remains of this castle were demolished around 1950.

Mining
From Mierlo you walk into Molenheide. One moment the path winds, then you walk on a beautiful straight avenue. This nature reserve was once a vast moorland, but was reclaimed just before the Second World War as a job creation project. As in many other places, coniferous trees were planted for mining in South Limburg. You will see Scots pine, Corsican pine and spruce. There are also some heath remnants. At De Strabrechtse Hoeve you can enjoy a cozy terrace afterwards.
