A hike of over 9 km across the northern part of De Groote Heide: The Leenderheide. On this stretch of heathland you just might run into a herd of Kempic heath sheep. And for a cup of coffee or a bite to eat there is the ancient pub of 'De Hut van Mie Pils'. The starting and end point of the route is near the village of Aalst that boasts many historical sights, including the Aalster Mill, a grain mill dating back to 1904. Also worth a visit are the 1906 Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Prestatiekerk church and the Treeswijk estate, with a villa dating back to 1829.

| Stratumse Heide | |
|
Up and down, up and down, this heathland sure is bumpy. This is because the area used to be a drift sand region that wasn't afforested until the 1930s. Other parts were left untouched and turned into heath. Many trees you find here are wildshoots. Because of strong wind exposure their shapes are much more jagged than planted trees. |

| Leenderheide | |
|
A gorgeous area that is enclosed on virtually all sides by other nature reserves. It is, however, partly cut off from its surrounding area by two motorways. In order to allow animals to go from one area to the other, a wildlife crossing has been constructed over de A2 motorway. Hikers and cyclists have the option to use one of three viaducts. |
