Valkenhorst is also one of Brabant's bird paradises. However, it hasn't been that for very long. In the past, falcons were caught here. The heathlands were ideally suited for this. After being trained, the birds were sold to noble courts at home and abroad. Valkenswaard was internationally famous for this. Information panel provides detailed explanation.

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.

Quite a beautiful pond, especially on weekdays, because it is much quieter there and you can enjoy this beautiful part more.

The Meeuwven is located just outside Aalst, on the Hutdijk. It is a nutrient-poor lake that depends on rainwater. After a dry summer, it is almost empty. The name has nothing to do with seabirds; rather, it is a corruption of "Nieuwven" (New Marsh) due to the marsh. Before the Napoleonic era, this was the name of the lake. The name may have changed due to a cartographer's misplacement.

In 2022, the re-meandering of the Warmbeek at the Achelse Kluis was completed over a length of approximately 1.7 kilometres. The objectives are the same as for almost all re-meandering and can be read on the information board. You can see the results.

The Warmbeek has a reasonable structural quality from the Zuid-Willemsvaart but still had a straightened and deepened route at the Achelse Kluis in Achel. With the re-meandering in 2022, the Warmbeek became approximately 700m longer. With this, VMM restored the natural water storage in the valley and typical stream habitats for a species-rich fauna and flora were created. This area functions again as a floodable valley that buffers extra water and therefore contributes to a climate-robust landscape.

nice route. Jan 2025 lots of puddles and mud on the walking path
