Welcome to the Groene Woud, also known as the area between the Brabant city triangle. Here you will find vast poplar forests that were once planted for the clog and match industries. Today these forests offer a beautiful environment for cycling enthusiasts. As you cycle through the dense poplar forests and along historic poplar avenues, you are surrounded by the soothing sounds of babbling brooks and the curious gaze of cows grazing in the meadows. And let's not forget the culinary treats along the way, as various eateries along the route are ready to pamper your taste buds. This special expedition along the poplars is a joint initiative of the Municipality of Best, the Municipality of Boxtel and the Landscape Triennial 2021. It is a tribute to the rich heritage of this region and an invitation to discover the characteristic landscape. So get on your bike and be surprised by the Groene Woud, where history and nature come together. Whether you are a seasoned cyclist or just looking for a relaxing ride in nature, this route has something for everyone.
