Heeze

My 60 km cycle ride today took me through some truly spectacular North Brabant countryside to the east of Eindhoven.

Around 30 km was on dedicated cycle tracks through woodlands & over the heath lands of Strabrechtse Heide.

I stopped for a while, right in the middle of this area just to absorb the complete peace & quiet.

If camping was allowed it would be a truly magical place to spend a night.

Moving on, the small town of Heeze, my halfway point, came & went before I saw a sign indicating a Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery at Sterksel.

This was just a short detour from my planned route but when I got there I found that the cemetery was within the grounds of a monastery, currently closed to visitors because of the Covid19 pandemic.

Fabulous cycling in warm sunshine & zero wind, another great day out on the bike.
