ソン・エン・ブリューゲルのおすすめツーリングルート

Lookout tower 't Meulke' on the Meulekensweg, Liempde.

One of my favorite parts of this region. Beautiful scenery and a separate bike path, a few twists and a small bridge. Brabant can be beautiful.

Robert Cole and Joe Mann On September 18 and 19, 1944, these woods witnessed unprecedented fierce fighting. German troops attempted to prevent the breakthrough of American paratroopers who had landed the previous day and the British troops advancing from the south. Two exceptionally brave men were killed in this battle. Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole and Private Joe Mann were both posthumously awarded the highest American military decoration: the Medal of Honor. Listen to their stories here. On Monday, September 18 and Tuesday, September 19, the woods between Son and Best witnessed extremely fierce fighting between units of the German 59th Division and the 502nd Regiment of the US 101st Airborne Division, which was later supported by the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment and the British 15/19 Hussars. The Germans attempted, among other things, to recapture the drop and landing zones at Son and advanced from Boxtel and Best. They wanted to prevent the Americans and British from breaking through. Many soldiers were killed in these battles. Among them were Lieutenant Colonel Robert Cole and Private Joe Mann. Both were awarded the highest American military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for their exceptional courage. Here's a listen to their stories.

If you do choose to cycle through this tunnel, enjoy the beautiful graffiti art on the wall. Keep in mind that this is often a busy cycle path with many students because the cycle path runs over the TU Eindhoven terrain.
