Nice path to take as a connecting route from Middelbeers to Vessem

Beautiful piece of nature, with good paved cycle paths. It can be busy on sunny days and holidays, so perhaps less suitable for sporty cycling then.

From the top of the 25-meter-high observation tower, you'll have a beautiful view of the surrounding nature reserve. Enjoy the heathland and fens. The observation tower is part of Outdoor Park Reusel.

The pronunciation is often incorrect, but with a hyphen, it's better: Bele-ven. There's plenty to experience, especially if you're a birdwatcher. A true paradise for many birds, the Spoonbill is also regularly spotted, and it's a breeding ground for various meadow birds. From a mammoth-shaped wooden platform, you have a magnificent view of Het Beleven. Sandy paths crisscross the nature reserve "Het Beleven" with wide verges and hedgerows; 'Suskes Klompenpedje' (7.5 km)—the name gives it away—you can follow the wooden clogs. A printed version of the route is available at the Hollandershoeve and Visit Reusel-De Mierden. Het Beleven is situated in a bowl-shaped depression. And to think, until recently, there were only corn fields here. The deep drainage ditches have been filled in, and the enriched soil has been largely removed. Source: Brabantslandschap.nl

The Bailey Bridge in Mol At the beginning of World War II, the bridges on the Kempen canals were blown up. With the liberation, the British built a temporary bridge in Mol, which still stands today. The bridge is a so-called Bailey bridge, named after its designer, R.C. Bailey. He developed this ingenious, modular bridge for military purposes. A Bailey bridge can be assembled without machinery, using only manpower. Such a bridge is actually only meant to be there for a short time, but in some places, such as in Mol, it remained. The pillars of the old bridge are still clearly visible.
