Groote Heide south of Valkenswaard

Highlight • Forest

Many different colours and certainly in late spring and all summer a lot of green. If it is very quiet, there is a good chance that you can see some deer. There are quite a few paths that go in all directions from there. You can choose to cycle to Belgium, or to Valkenswaard. Through the woods to Heeze, or whatever.

The Wire of Death (Dodendraad) at Achelse Kluis

Highlight • Historical Site

The infamous Doodendraad stood at this location during the First World War. This fencing served to prevent refugees from fleeing from Belgium to the Netherlands. The various information boards provide a clear picture of the events. An authentic piece of the Death Wire is also available for viewing here.

Heather Landscape in De Malpie

Highlight • Natural

The Malpie consists of two parts. The first is the Malpiebeemden, an area of 217 hectares. It is located between Valkenswaard, Borkel and Schaft. The other part consists of the Malpiebossen and nature reserve De Malpie. This is an adjoining area of approximately 400 hectares, of which 120 hectares consists of heathland and fens.

Venbergse Watermill

Highlight • Monument

The Venbergse Watermolen is located below Valkenswaard on the river Dommel. This mill was previously used as an oil mill, bark mill and grain mill and is one of the oldest mills in the Netherlands.

The Venberg water mill was a forbidden mill. The inhabitants of the surrounding areas had to have their grain milled here. The history of the mill goes back about a thousand years. In 1227 the mill is mentioned in a document from Duke Henry I of Brabant. In the following centuries the mill changed hands many times. In 1740 the mill and the associated land were sold publicly. The Venbergse Hoeve was one of the most profitable farms in the area at the time.

Right next to the mill there is also a starting point for canoe trips on the Dommel.
