Surroundings
Discover heathlands, fens and forests by bike
Discover the Peel region, which begins almost immediately behind Mariahout, and cycle through a landscape of heathlands, fens, marshes, forests and open fields. The region is known for its expansive nature and hundreds of kilometres of cycling and walking routes, making it easy to put together your own trip. Follow the junctions, ride along canals and nature reserves, and take time along the way to spot birds. In National Park De Peel, many water and marsh birds live, and with a bit of luck you may even see cranes in season. Bring something to eat for the road, choose a nice spot in nature and enjoy a quiet day outdoors. Hop on your bike and discover how surprisingly green the Peel is.
Discover historic and cultural Helmond
Experience a varied city day in Helmond, where history, culture and Brabant hospitality come together. Start at Helmond Castle, the largest square moated castle in the Netherlands, and discover the castle story that is almost 700 years old right in the middle of the city. Then walk through the center for shops, restaurants and a relaxed terrace. Those who want to see more can choose from various museums, such as Museum Helmond, the HomeComputerMuseum, the Fairground Organ Museum or the Jan Visser Museum. De Cacaofabriek is also a nice stop: here you will find films, concerts, exhibitions and a brasserie under one roof. Combine castle, culture and city atmosphere in one visit and be surprised by the versatility of Helmond today.
Discover the village atmosphere of Laarbeek
Cycle or drive from In de Hei to Laarbeek and discover the peaceful Brabant village atmosphere in the area around Mariahout. You’ll find local shops, terraces, and nice places for a coffee stop along the way. Thanks to the flat landscape, the region is easy to explore by bike, with routes past villages, greenery, and water. Plan a relaxing stopover and experience just how pleasant Laarbeek is.
Canoeing on the Dommel
Paddle along the Dommel and discover Sint-Oedenrode from the water. You can rent a canoe at several places, for example for the trip towards Nederwetten of about two to three hours. This route is also suitable for beginners and takes you through a green stream valley with floodplain forests and meadows along the banks. Back in Sint-Oedenrode, you can drop onto a terrace at Corsoplein and enjoy the afterglow of your canoe trip.

We had a really great stay and had a lot of fun on the alpaca hike 😀. It was wonderful to see how these people have transformed their farm into a beautiful B&B with dining options, and are doing what they love. We felt right at home and would definitely recommend this lovely spot!
