April 14, 2025,Tagestour Eindhoven 🇳🇱: Lierop - Strabrechtse Heide - Groote Heide - Leenderbos - Malpie - Vroolijke Jager - Lierop

I can't remember where or from whom I saved this tour. But I'm glad I found it; it's definitely one of my top ten. A beautiful nature reserve, heathland, moors, forests, and all along the usual perfect Dutch cycle paths. I definitely have to do it again; some attractions and restaurants are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Since my better half has a few days off and the weather is still good, we went on a tour today as well.
This time we went to the Netherlands, specifically to Lierop (just outside Eindhoven) in North Brabant. We started right at the large church in Lierop with 21 degrees and 🌤. Over the course of the day, it …

We wanted to take advantage of the beautiful weather 🌞 and the up to 28 degrees, so I drove to the Eindhoven area with a good friend. Since it wasn't a public holiday there today, we hoped that there would be less going on here.

Today we went on a lovely ride through various hay meadows.
I saved the tour on someone's komoot. Unfortunately, I don't remember who. Thank you very much anyway 👍👋
We were actually planning a ride in the Hoge Veluwe. Changed our plans at the last minute.
The ride leads through many beautiful heathlands and forests. There are also roads here …

June 27, 2024,Urlaub 🇧🇪 Tag 5 - Trappistenkloster Achel - Heidentour🪻(mit Hindernissen 💦) und Mittagspause im Heidecafé ☕️

We didn't start our tour today from our accommodation, as we usually do, but drove to Hamont-Achel by car. We parked and started at the Trappist monastery in Achel.

The 🇧🇪 /🇳🇱 border runs directly in front of the monastery, which is very well represented by a line and the two country flags on the way. The death wire (De …
