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.

Beautiful bike path. Meanders beautifully through nature. It's narrow, though, so be careful of oncoming traffic.

St. Anthony's Mill Museum Both the mill and the church played a significant role during the fighting in and around Eerde between September 18 and 25, 1944. This was due to the height of these buildings and their function as observation posts. The St. Anthony's Mill was severely damaged on September 24, 1944, during Operation Market Garden, during the fighting in the Eerde sand dunes. Eerde was a strategically important town, situated on the "German Line" (Boxtel-Wesel railway line) and the Zuid-Willemsvaart Canal. The Americans used the village as a buffer for the bridges in Veghel. German commanders, meanwhile, recognized the village's importance for mustering their troops and launching coordinated attacks on the bridges. The village was fiercely fought over, resulting in many casualties. A plaque on the mill lists the names of the Allied victims who lost their lives in Eerde, including paratrooper Carman Ladner. The Personal Story of Carman Ladner Carman Ladner enlisted in the paratroopers, a new elite unit within the US Army that he longed to join. His fiancée, Elaine Smith, was strongly opposed to this, fearing her Carman would be killed. On his last leave, before leaving for Europe, they had an argument. Nevertheless, Carman left for New York to embark. After he left, Elaine regretted it and traveled from Maine to New York to find him. Against all odds, she found Carman among the thousands of men preparing for the great crossing. They resolved their disagreement and promised to write frequently. One day, Carman's letters stopped arriving. Elaine waited anxiously, trying to contact Carman's parents, who lived in the countryside without electricity or a telephone. One day, she found three letters in her mailbox. They were her own, sent to Carman. The letters were stamped "DECEASED." That was the moment Elaine was confronted with the cold reality that the love of her life was gone. Her life fell apart. Because they weren't married, the official report of his death had been sent to his parents, and they had been unable to contact Elaine. Later, she received the message that he was MIA (Missing in Action). But hope that he would return quickly faded. In 2006, Elaine learned the true circumstances of his death while visiting Eerde. The Geronimo Museum in the mill displays Carman and Elaine's letters, including the three "DECEASED" letters in question, along with several other personal items related to this story. A passage from one of the letters Carman wrote to Elaine: “I love the paratroopers, although we know that if we ever…and we will…go over, chances are that 90% of us will never come back. We know that, but it doesn't bother us. We are trained just for special missions, and we know even though we may get 'knocked off,' maybe we saved a few hundred lives. That is why we are Paratroopers.” Dutch translation: “I love the paratroopers, although we know that if we ever…and we will…go over, chances are that 90% of us will never come back. We know that, but it doesn't bother us. We are trained for special missions, and we know that even though we may not return, we probably saved a few hundred lives. That is why we are paratroopers.”

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.

Nice path quite wide and you can also really go full out because there is enough space there. This path leads from Eindhoven to Geldrop, Mierlo, Helmond which makes it a nice piece for many cyclists to include in a bike ride. Also a lot of shade so nice out of the sun.
