Icon description route Description

This bike ride starts in Gilze, mainly known for the Gilze-Rijen military airfield and its history during World War II. This airfield was taken over by the German Luftwaffe after the Dutch capitulation in 1940. Until August 15, 1944, Gilze-Rijen underwent multiple bombings by Allied troops, which severely affected the surrounding region.

After cycling around this airfield, this route mainly goes over quiet agricultural roads towards Tilburg. North Brabant plays an important role in Dutch gardening and agriculture, which becomes immediately apparent during this route.

You also follow a stretch of the Bels Lijntje, which used to be the Tilburg-Turnhout railway line. It is delightful to cycle on this car-free bike path. There is no shortage of restaurants during this tour; in Rijen and Riel, you can certainly take a break.

Friday, July 26, 2024 by A.W.This tour is very disappointing. Most roads are busy and a little less busy. Occasionally you pass some greenery but you drive past it instead of through it. Our high expectations were not met.
