If you want to escape the hospital for a while, this is a relaxing route. And if you're there between June and September, you can also enjoy music on Sundays.

Bridge over the Eindhoven Canal

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 even towards Eindhoven and Helmond in clear weather. 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.

The Eindhoven Canal is a straight, man-made canal that runs between Eindhoven and the Zuid-Willemsvaart canal. The canal was built in the 19th century to support industry and transport in the region. Along the water lies a tranquil, green ribbon of trees and paths, now popular with walkers and cyclists. The straight banks, open water, and the interplay of forest edges and agricultural fields give the canal a characteristic, almost linear landscape. Its even structure makes it a clear landmark and a pleasant, well-organized route through the countryside around Eindhoven and the Kempen region.

The Wasvenvijver pond is located in the Wasven nature reserve, north of Helmond near Gerwen. It's a small but unique natural area where forest, open spaces, and cultural history converge. The pond itself owes its name to its historical use: linen and textiles were once washed and bleached here in the clear water. Today, it's a peaceful spot to pause for a moment during a walk, surrounded by winding trees and diverse vegetation. Together with the surrounding paths, the Wasvenvijver pond forms a beautiful and characteristic oasis in the Brabant landscape.

Gerard Brouwer Intimacy and conviviality are central to Brouwer's work. Brouwer's world is a bronze representation of everyday life, filled with unpretentious Dutch scenes. The sculpture at the Market Square depicts two friends shopping. An everyday scene, as it turns out.
