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.

On the Dommel River, between Nuenen and Eindhoven, lies the Opwetten Watermill. This mill has a long history: it was mentioned as early as the 11th century, and for centuries, no fewer than three wheels turned simultaneously – making it the largest watermill in the Netherlands at one time. The mill played an important role in the region, both economically and for its landscape. Today, it is a protected monument and a popular stop on walks and bike rides. From the mill, you can look out over the water and the surrounding meadows, where herons, ducks, and other waterfowl can be found. The Opwetten Watermill was also immortalized by Vincent van Gogh, who drew and painted it several times while living in Nuenen. This makes it not only a place of technology and nature, but also of art and culture.

The history of De Zwaan dates back to 1884. That year, an octagonal belt mill was built on what is now Dennenlaan. When a church was built a stone's throw from the mill around 1900, the miller was unhappy. The church caused significant wind obstruction, which negatively impacted production. In 1902, the mill was finally moved to another location in the village. After being hit by a grenade during World War II, restoration proved too costly, and after being demolished in 1964, the mill was shipped in sections to the US and rebuilt in Holland, Michigan. Construction of the current mill began in 2014 with the help of donations and subsidies. Thanks to the hard work of many volunteers, the new Zwaan was completed and operational in 2020. Rye, spelt, and wheat are ground there for local bakers and for local consumption. A cozy café has been set up beneath the mill where people can enjoy lunch. Souvenirs are also for sale.

From Beek en Donk, it's practically one straight road to Tilburg, with excellent bike paths that are often nice and wide, making overtaking easy. You can cycle at a leisurely pace, but you can also really put your foot down, as many sections look inviting to increase your speed considerably. On many stretches, I'll go up to 42km and then just keep going. Okay, I'll do that on a 3-wheel recumbent bike—two wheels in front and one wheel in the back—with a substantial electric-legal assist.

De Zwaan Mill is not accessible by car. Parking is available 300 meters away, opposite Café Restaurant Den Driehoek, Brugstraat 43 in Vinkel.
