Flying Pins Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The bright yellow pins are a work of art called "Flying Pins."

It was designed by sculptors Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen and unveiled on May 31, 2000.

It depicts a bowling ball with ten flying pins. The artists saw a bowling alley on Kennedylaan, which is how they came up with the idea. In the artists' vision, the dynamic of the sinking bowling ball, with its flying and sinking pins, fits well with this busy spot in Eindhoven. The yellow color of the pins was chosen by Van Bruggen and refers to the yellow daffodils that brighten Kennedylaan every spring.

The highest point of the artwork is approximately 8.5 meters. The ball has a diameter of approximately 6.7 meters. The sculpture is made of steel and reinforced plastic with a polyester-polyurethane coating.

Silly Walks Tunnel, Eindhoven

Highlight • Structure

This tunnel is an ode to the 'silly walks' from the TV series Monty Python. Strange walks are painted on the wall along the entire length of the tunnel. World-famous British actor John Cleese came to 'his' tunnel for the unveiling of the artwork.

Behind the 120 meter long work of art is the duo Niels van Swaemen (1981, Eindhoven) and Kaspar van Leek (1983, Philipsburg St. Maarten) of Studio Giftig

Eindhovens Canal Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle path is made of concrete slabs and these are not always neatly connected, but the path is easily accessible for cyclists. With our trike we have to be careful with oncoming traffic because the cycle path is not that wide. From Helmond along the Eindhoven canal you can easily reach Eindhoven. There are also plenty of opportunities to leave the cycle path and continue your cycle tour via other roads

Van Gogh–Roosegaarde Bike Path

Highlight • Cycleway

IT should be a highlight of the tour ... but although waiting for darkness the effect of the illuminated bike path is very weak. It's a shame - great idea

Opwetten Watermill

Highlight • Monument

Located on the Van Gogh Cycle Path, this is an interesting stop to learn to understand the effect of Van Gogh's pictures. The interactive columns reflect everything worth knowing about the object and the artist in Dutch and English.
