Hiking
The Riethoven lookout tower is a relatively modern, wooden observation tower built to offer hikers and cyclists a higher perspective of the Kempen landscape. The tower stands on a small hill in the wooded area south of Riethoven, allowing you to see surprisingly far, despite its limited height.
From the top, you can see the Eindhoven skyline, the woods surrounding Westerhoven and Riethoven, and in clear weather, even the open heathlands further afield in the Kempen region. The tower is part of a series of viewpoints installed by various Brabant municipalities to enhance recreation in nature reserves.
