Start and finish location in the hamlet of Moorsel. Moorsel originated in the 12th century as a reclamation settlement, which is still visible in the road pattern and the location of the farms. The name refers to the marshy area where the Vleutloop originates.

Lieropseheide

Highlight • Forest

Together with the Strabrechtse Heide, the Lieropse Heide forms the largest contiguous heath area in North Brabant. This is how a large part of Brabant must have looked about a century and a half ago. The route takes you through an old production forest that has shaken off the clean lines. You will also see the largest heath in our country, which is famous for its vegetation and the marsh birds that reside there. Chances are you'll hear a rustle in the trees along the way and come face to face with… a cow. A walk in pure nature.

View of the Kranenmeer

Highlight • Lake

The view of the fen, normally a small fen, but now with all the precipitation it has increased considerably in size.

Lieropse Heide

Highlight • Natural

The sun is already burning in the morning, so we set out for the heath with a good supply of drinks. In the Lieropschen Heide we walk on right-angled, dead straight, but as if to contradict, wonderfully wild forest-meadow farm paths; still cool in the shade of the pines.
The sparse birch shelters, which soon take us in behind fences, are already sunnier and give us a foretaste of the heat to be expected in the open landscape of the Strabrechts Heath, which we only touch to the east; but have a feeling that not much will change further west in the heather.
Impressive width; Erika, the heather blooms delicately purple; the impression of the relative absence of insects is deceptive, if we stoop down into the pagan microcosm, like this
it hums and buzzes quite powerfully - near the ground.

Holy Name of Jesus Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Holy Name of Jesus Church – Lierop
The imposing Holy Name of Jesus Church in the center of Lierop was built between 1890 and 1892 based on a design by Carl Weber. The Neo-Romanesque cross-domed church, with its four towers and a dome over forty meters high, is visible from afar. Inside, you'll find beautiful stained-glass windows and period details from the time of its construction. It's a lovely starting point for a walk through the tranquil Brabant landscape.
