A nice narrow path to leave Eindhoven on the north side. Slow down if you're facing oncoming traffic because it's really narrow. Also, watch out for roots poking through the asphalt. There are quite a few bumps in the path.

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.

The Lourdes Grotto was built in 1934, with permission from Bishop Diepen. The statue of Our Lady of Lourdes, which is housed in the grotto, is 1.80m tall and stands 4.50m above ground level. The grotto was consecrated on May 30, 1935, and attracted thousands of pilgrims. The polyphonic hymns were played through loudspeakers. The Lourdes Grotto in Mariahout was built in 1936-1937 by Father Van Eindhoven. By the end of the twentieth century, the grotto had fallen into serious disrepair. In 1998, it was completely rebuilt. Many volunteers from Mariahout contributed to the project. On May 30, 1999, the grotto was blessed again. Many people come to pray and light a candle. Especially in 2008, when the pilgrimage site of Lourdes celebrated its 150th anniversary. Moreover, the parish also celebrated its 75th anniversary that year.

Great way to drive out of the city via the busy north-west side of Eindhoven

Beautiful asphalt, very quiet. Little car traffic.

Mountain view! Asphalt is fine, but cars sometimes drive very fast here.

This Lourdes grotto is the same size as the well-known place of pilgrimage. 25 by 10 meters and an exact copy of the first grotto in Lourdes

nice, tranquil cycling road, incidental car, and most of all nice views, smooth surface and great curves
