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 | |
![]() Heuveltje, hill hill: what is this bumpy hay? That's because it used to be dusty sand, which was only affected in the 1930s. Another part was untouched and developed to hey. You will find a lot of spontaneous storage of trees. Because their shape is determined by the wind, they are more erratic than planted trees. |
