The most beautiful cycling routes in Brabant

HUP is located in Mierlo – home to the stunning Strabrechtse Heide. This natural gem is perfect for scenic bike rides. Surrounded by woods, you’ll be pedaling through peaceful greenery. The well-maintained cycling paths in the area make it all super easy. More of a city type? In just 20 minutes, you’re sipping a drink on a terrace downtown in Helmond or Eindhoven. Time to relax! So if you're looking for a great bike hotel in Brabant, HUP is ready for you!

Strabrechtse Heide – hear the bells

length: 43.51 km 

theme: rural, tasty. natural

 3 hrs 13 min  2 hrs 34 min


The Strabrechtse Heide, with its forests, heathlands and fens, is a true natural beauty. Cycle in peace past grazing sheep, dragonflies and rare plants. Hop off your bike at the most scenic spots and enjoy a short walk to complete your ride.


Along the way, you’ll pass through the towns of Asten and Heusden – perfect for a full day out. In Asten, visit the Klok & Peel Museum, home to the world’s largest collection of bells and carillons.


But there's more: the museum also explores the surrounding Peel region – a nearby nature reserve. Also worth a stop: Asten Castle. Damaged heavily in past wars, the ruins now paint an almost fairytale-like picture. The outer bailey still stands proudly, and what remains of the castle is just as captivating.

Van Gogh Nuenen

length: 48.6 km 

theme: cultural

 2 hrs 59 min  2 hrs 23 min


Vincent van Gogh lived and worked in Nuenen from December 1883 to November 1885. His time here is considered one of the most important and productive periods of his life. With incredible dedication, he created 194 paintings – including The Potato Eaters – along with 313 drawings, 25 watercolours, and 19 sketch letters.


But Nuenen itself and its surroundings are a true collection in their own right. No less than 23 buildings and landscapes are directly linked to Van Gogh’s two-year stay here. Of those 23 locations, 14 were painted or drawn by him – some more than once. The Van Gogh cycling route takes you right past this living collection.


"And the Brabant I’ve dreamed of... sometimes reality gets pretty close."

Letter 446, Nuenen, May 15, 1884

Watermills and a piece of the Wilhelmina Canal

length: 31.75 km 

theme: villages, history, tasty

 1 hrs 50 min  1 hrs 28 min


This route is another great reminder that the Netherlands is truly a country shaped by water. The Wilhelmina Canal starts at the Zuid-Willemsvaart in Laarbeek and flows to Amer near Geertruidenberg. On this route, you’ll cycle along a small part of this 68-kilometre-long canal.


In Nuenen, you’ll also find the Opwetten Watermill – home to the largest water wheel in the Netherlands. Follow the stream of the 'Kleine Dommel' upstream, and you’ll reach the Collse Watermill.


Both watermills became famous after Vincent van Gogh painted them. In fact, throughout the village of Nuenen, you’ll spot several buildings and landmarks that Van Gogh once immortalized on canvas.

HUP's favorite

length: 51.74 km theme: historical, rural, tasty

 3 hrs 51 min  3 hrs 5 min


Cycle from bike hotel HUP to Eindhoven along a scenic route that follows the Eindhoven Canal. With every kilometre, you’ll get a little closer to the city. Take your time – we’ve added a few fun and educational stop-offs along the way. A must-see? The Philips Museum! Philips played a major role in the explosive growth of Eindhoven, starting back in 1920.


And who knows – you might just spot your very first car again (or your childhood friend’s... or your parents’!) at the DAF Museum!


Leave the city buzz behind and head back into peaceful surroundings. On the way, you’ll pass several windmills and catch a fresh breeze at the beautiful Beuven lake. We’ll wrap up the day by cycling through the cosy Brabant village of Mierlo, right back to the hotel.
