Heeze-Leende and Groote Heide
Cycling in a varied landscape with pine trees, moors, fens, sand dunes, winding paths and idyllic farms.
The Landscape
Heeze and Leende are often mentioned in one breath. Logical you would say, because both villages are part of the municipality of Heeze-Leende. But together Heeze and Leende also own two immense nature reserves with extensive farmlands, forests, fens and heaths. Leende even measures the highest density of nature reserves in hectares per inhabitant. And near Heeze is Het Beuven, with its 85 hectares the largest fen in the Netherlands, flirting in the immensity of the Strabrechtse Heide. Enough reasons for a natural visit!
