The route is located in the Liesselse forests, a typical Brabant forest. An attractive part is the place where the old Aa flows through the forest. The riparian vegetation provides variety there. If you follow the loop a few hundred meters upstream along the Berktsedijk, the road rises noticeably. Two weirs have been placed in the stream at a distance of only 100 metres. As a result, there is a fall of more than two meters in the stream. The location of the Peelrand fracture is clearly visible here.
In this forest you will also find the so-called Galgenberg. It is a clearing in the forest where the corpses of convicts used to be hung on a gallows as a deterrent and example.
The ATB network of the municipality of Deurne consists of 5 separate routes with a total length of 80 kilometers. The routes are linked to each other with connecting routes.
Of the routes of the route network, the Liessel route is the longest. Also the most beautiful from a landscape point of view because this piece of forest is not marred by a major through road. However, this part of the route contains few single tracks. After about 4 kilometers you have to be careful. Here you have to turn right just before the river Oude Aa. If your speed is too high before turning off, you can easily drive into the water here. After riding along the bank for about a kilometer, the route heads back into the forest. The turning point is two hundred meters before the war memorial. In the second part of the route, the fiercest hill of this route is conquered.
The route can be easily combined with the routes in: Deurne (Walsberg), Deurne (Zandbos), Liessel, Neerkant and Vlierden. The connecting routes are marked with the black MTB sign.
