Bridge over the Eindhoven Canal

The Eindhoven Canal is a straight, man-made canal that runs between Eindhoven and the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal. The canal was built in the 19th century to support industry and transport in the region. Along the water lies a tranquil, green ribbon of trees and paths, now popular with walkers and cyclists. The straight banks, open water, and the interplay of forest edges and agricultural fields give the canal a characteristic, almost linear landscape. Its even structure makes it a clear landmark and a pleasant, well-organized route through the countryside around Eindhoven and the Kempen region.

The Roof of Brabant, located on the Gulberg near Nuenen/Mierlo, is an artificial hill that emerged from a former landfill and is now one of the region's most striking landmarks. With a summit of approximately 60 meters, the hill offers a panoramic view rarely found anywhere else in Brabant. From the summit, you can look out over the Luchense Heide, the surrounding forest, the Eindhoven Canal, and, on a clear day, even as far as Eindhoven and Helmond. The slopes of the Gulberg are covered with rugged grass and shrubs, making the area a habitat for birds and small mammals. The summit is regularly visited by hikers, runners, and mountain bikers, but it remains a place where you literally stand above the landscape. The contrast between the natural environment and its industrial origins makes it a unique viewpoint that is always worth pausing for a moment.

I passed by today and it was busy so it must be good, I walked on because my tour had just started from Lierop

The memorial site is now used for all sorts of purposes, and there are many reasons to remember something. A peaceful place of silence.

when the flag is flying you can visit the mill

I've never been to that cemetery, but every time I pass it on a bike ride, I get a little shiver. I do notice that the cemetery is very well maintained, often by Belgian gardeners. It's not like you can just cross the rather busy road; it's doable, but you do need to be careful.
