The pronunciation is often incorrect, but with a hyphen, it's better: Bele-ven. There's plenty to experience, especially if you're a birdwatcher. A true paradise for many birds, the Spoonbill is also regularly spotted, and it's a breeding ground for various meadow birds. From a mammoth-shaped wooden platform, you have a magnificent view of Het Beleven. Sandy paths crisscross the nature reserve "Het Beleven" with wide verges and hedgerows; 'Suskes Klompenpedje' (7.5 km)—the name gives it away—you can follow the wooden clogs. A printed version of the route is available at the Hollandershoeve and Visit Reusel-De Mierden. Het Beleven is situated in a bowl-shaped depression. And to think, until recently, there were only corn fields here. The deep drainage ditches have been filled in, and the enriched soil has been largely removed. Source: Brabantslandschap.nl

Indeed, a beautiful area, and it's good that this WWII memorial exists. It's a shame the name is misspelled; the decoy airfield is called d'n Kiek. A Kriek is a cherry.

A big plus for the fine road surface, that makes up for a lot :)

The border marker is currently covered. Why? I have no idea, but it's covered in a thick plastic cover.

Almost immediately after the start of World War II, the German occupying forces established the Kamerun Airfield (SF37), better known locally as "De Kiek." It housed anti-aircraft guns, several searchlights, a bunker, and hangars. There was even a railway line on which an illuminated wooden dummy aircraft was propelled by a cable. By setting up decoy airfields, the Germans wanted to lure enemy pilots into dropping their bombs there, instead of on the actual target. The idea was for Allied pilots to mistake De Kiek for the real Gilze-Rijen airfield. Decoy airfields also served as dropping sites for undropped bombs, as landing with bombs was too dangerous. Sometimes they also served as training grounds. The German troops used lighting to lure British aircraft at night. As soon as the British were in the vicinity, the runway lights were turned on to attract attention. Flares were also fired. The British quickly learned about the decoy airfields and their intended purpose. Yet, despite improved navigation techniques, some British crews were still misled. Living near an airfield during wartime is dangerous. Even near a decoy airfield, it was anything but safe. The Allies were indeed misled and attempted to bomb the airfield. Three residents of Brakel were killed in a bombing raid on October 20, 1943. The Friends of the Kiek Foundation has brought the decoy airfield back to life. Visit the bunker and discover the aircraft in the middle of the woods.

Nice road, nice in the shade on hot days.

Beautiful fen in the Kempen, near Belgium

In September 1942, these 5 young guys crashed in their plane.
