Einderheide route

The Einderheide walking route lies on the edge of the Brabantse Kempen and offers a varied 14-kilometre walk through woods, farmland and alongside streams such as the Dommel, Keersop and the Run. The route starts at the Volmolen car park in Riethoven (junction 71) and follows the walking junction network for the most part. Along the way, you’ll walk through peaceful nature reserves, past ponds and through the hamlet of Broekhoven.

Right from the start, you’ll first admire the historic Volmolen windmill on the River Dommel. The route then takes you past the campsite and into the woods, where you’ll soon find yourself walking alongside winding streams and through varied countryside. Among other things, you’ll cross the Keersop and walk along the outskirts of Dommelen, whilst continually enjoying the typical Brabant countryside.

A highlight of the route is the Einderheide nature reserve. Here, you can walk through woodland and past ponds such as the Huisven. You can also climb the D’n Einder observation tower, a 26-metre-high tower offering beautiful views of the surrounding area and featuring special details such as bat roosts.

After the woods, the route takes you through Broekhoven, past characteristic farmhouses, and then along the stream known as the Run. Finally, you return to the Volmolen via country lanes.
