멋지고 거친 자갈길, 질주하기에 완벽합니다

Beautiful location to enjoy the landscape.

Gemert Castle is one of the village's most striking historical buildings. The complex dates back to the 13th century and was owned for centuries by the Teutonic Order, which had its commandery here. Because of this long history, you'll find a mix of architectural styles on the grounds: medieval elements, an impressive gateway, later residential wings, and a moat that encircles the entire complex. The castle itself is not freely accessible, but from the road and surrounding paths, you have a beautiful view of the walls, towers, and gatehouse. The surrounding area is charming, with old tree-lined avenues, water features, and historic outbuildings that complete the setting. It's a pleasant place for walkers to stop and take a photo or soak up the tranquil atmosphere around the moat.

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.

Easily doable with a good gravel bike!

A beautiful cycle path along the canal between Helmond and Aarle-Rixtel. Instead of cycling directly along the main road, you'll enjoy a wonderfully peaceful ride along the canal. It's easy to connect with other beautiful sights in the region. The surface is so good that all types of bicycles are suitable. Some days, it's also popular for walking. However, the path is wide enough for everyone to enjoy together.

A magnificent castle in the heart of the city. A real eye-catcher. Definitely worth stopping for a few pictures. Terraces are not far away, making it an ideal place for a break.

A pleasant canal crossing. Here you can cross from the cycle path right next to the provincial road to the pleasant cycle path along the canal. It immediately gives you a more rural feel.
