헬몬드 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

지금은 말들 때문에 큰 모래밭이 되었는데, 자전거 타는 것을 원하지 않는 것 같기도 합니다. 거의 불가능하며, 적어도 자전거 타기에 그다지 즐겁지 않습니다... 특히 얇은 타이어로는요!

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.

Based on an inscription on this mill, it has often been claimed that it was built in 1506. Some sources indicate that a mill must have stood here as early as 1419. However, after extensive research, standard mill experts have determined that this mill dates back to the 18th century. Was this standard mill rebuilt in the 18th century as a successor to a much older mill? On May 17, 1771, Asten and the mill were struck by extreme weather, and the mill was overturned. In 1779, just eight years later, the mill was again severely damaged by the storm. The mill belonged to the Lords of Asten for a long time—until the middle of the 20th century. In 1953, the mill was sold to the Van Stekelenburg family. Major renovations were carried out in 1961. On the night of June 15-16, 1970, this mill fell victim to a fire, but remained standing, albeit severely damaged.

There are quite a few MTB routes in Nuenen and the surrounding area

For the experienced MTB'er 😅

Most beautiful track from the Helmond area. Nice ride to make with Vlierden and Deurne included.

Really a very nice track with a great flow. One of the best maintained tracks in the region. Super good to combine with the routes in Deurne and Vlierden.
