On the edge of Belgium, embraced by the border, lies Bergeijk, a charming municipality in the Kempen. The region around it is not only strikingly beautiful, but also rich in history, all the more reason to discover it by bike. This cycling route takes you past two nature gateways, places where silence reigns, breathtaking viewpoints surprise you and where you get to know unique animals in their natural habitat. One of the highlights is De Malpie, famous for its bat cellar. A remarkable variety of bat species lives here. Above ground, you can feast your eyes on the different woodpecker species that occur in this area. It is a real treat for nature lovers. After De Malpie, you are welcomed by the Leenderbos. This forest, with a past as a production forest for mining timber, has gradually been transformed into a lush deciduous forest. This change has given the forest a new, more natural character. As you cycle your way back to Bergeijk, two more natural treasures await you: the Natuurtuin and Stadstuin. These green oases offer a perfect ending to your cycling adventure. It is almost unbelievable how much natural beauty can be found in the surroundings of Bergeijk. Discover it yourself and be surprised by the hidden gems of this region.
