Surroundings



Discover heathland, fens and forests by bike
Discover the Peel region, which begins almost immediately beyond Mariahout, and cycle through a landscape of heathland, fens, marshes, forests and open fields. The region is known for its expansive natural scenery and hundreds of kilometres of cycling and walking routes, making it easy to create your own tour. Follow the numbered junctions, ride along canals and nature reserves, and take time to spot birds along the way. De Peel National Park is home to many water and marsh birds, and with a little luck, you may even see cranes in season. Bring something to eat for the journey, choose a beautiful spot in nature and enjoy a peaceful day outdoors. Get on your bike and discover just how surprisingly green the Peel is.


Discover historic and cultural Helmond
Enjoy a varied day out in Helmond, where history, culture and Brabant hospitality come together. Start at Helmond Castle, the largest square moated castle in the Netherlands, and discover its nearly 700-year-old story in the heart of the city. Then stroll through the centre for shops, cafés and restaurants, and a relaxing terrace. Those who want to see more can choose from several museums, such as Helmond Museum, the HomeComputerMuseum, the Barrel Organ Museum or the Jan Visser Museum. De Cacaofabriek is also a great 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.
Experience the village atmosphere of Laarbeek
Cycle or drive from In de Hei to Laarbeek and discover the peaceful Brabant village atmosphere around Mariahout. You will find local shops, terraces and pleasant places to stop for coffee 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 how welcoming Laarbeek is.
Canoeing on the Dommel
Paddle along the Dommel and discover Sint-Oedenrode from the water. You can rent a canoe at several locations, for example for the approximately two- to three-hour trip towards Nederwetten. 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, settle down on a terrace at Corsoplein and savour the memories of your canoe trip.
