Today we made a beautiful and varied circular walk from Riel, a small village near Goirle.
About the Rielse heide, the stork's nest, estate De Hoeve and Rielse Hoeve.
Beautiful trails everywhere in between.
And it was lovely weather today, so what more could a person want

A brisk walk. From village street to forest, arable land and heathland. There is plenty to see.

Beautiful route over the Regte heide. It rained a bit, making the paths with loose sand more passable 😁
The route is 90% unpaved.

A beautiful autumn ride in Brabant. We started from the church (parking lots 🙂). From there, we cycled a wide circle below Riel, almost reaching Belgium. The variety of landscapes and nature is beautiful: forest, heathland, and meadows. The route is partly paved and partly unpaved.
