The best walks and hikes around Nuenen, Gerwen En Nederwetten

KOSTERSHUISJE The house was built in the 18th century as a weaver's house. The first resident was Hendrik Spee. The traces of the master builder are still visible on the original wooden pillars. Later it received the name "Kostershuisje" (Sexton's House), as the sexton and organist of the Protestant church, Willem van der Burg, lived here. From 1916 to 1967, his daughter Mien lived in the house as sexton. In 2018, the property was extensively renovated, exposing characteristic elements such as the original clay fireplace and the roof structure.

De Roosdonck Mill is a beautiful grain mill dating from 1884 and one of the iconic landmarks in the Nuenen landscape. Vincent van Gogh painted this mill several times during his Nuenen period, making it even more famous. The mill stands on a slight rise and contrasts beautifully with the surrounding open fields—a perfect spot to stop for a photo, especially in bright light. De Roosdonck still turns regularly and is clearly visible from the surrounding footpaths.

St. Clement's Church stands in the heart of Gerwen's old village center and is one of the oldest churches in the region. The oldest part dates back to the 12th century and still retains distinct Romanesque features, later supplemented by Gothic extensions. The tall tower and the surrounding square with mature trees give it an almost timeless character. A peaceful place steeped in history, just the kind of village atmosphere that perfectly complements a stroll.

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.
