With its blooming heather, beautiful views and varied single tracks, this is a special trail…

Information

The Strabrechtse Heide is blooming at the end of August, which is incredibly beautiful. Lots of colors and magnifying fields with a purple glow, because there are many heather plants in this nature reserve of Staatsbosbeheer. At this Strabrechtse Heide Trail, participants can choose from a 10km, 20km or a 30km trail distance. All routes show the diversity of the area.

The area

You leave from the Plaetze in Heeze at De Schapenkooi (The Sheepshed). Across sandy roads and forest paths. Extensive views and varied forests provide a surprising experience. The expansive vistas make for beautiful color schemes that can only be seen for a few weeks each year.

The routes

All distances will lead you across the Strabrechtse Heide, the 20 and 30 km trails continue to the state forests of Someren. There you will find beautiful single tracks and untouched nature. A complete area which you must have visited at least once. And… visiting in the month of August is a very good choice.
