[Ep. 1006] Cycling to the heath of “de Kampina” Nature reserve in the province of Brabant to see the purple heather plants in bloom. These heather fields are located in the triangle formed by the cities of Eindhoven, Tilburg and ‘s-Hertogenbosch and are popular destination to cycle to.

Lindo video un abrazo desde Perú
Loonse en Drunense duinen is also full of blooming heather.
Regie Hei also.
So idyllic
Thanks for the reminder there are civilized people and civilized places where bicyclists are free to ride without fear of being slaughtered for sport. RIP Andreas Probst, Las Vegas NV, age 64.
Will ye go, Lassie, go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All among the purple heather
I noticed a weird thing when walking in the similar Loonse en Drunense Duinen; a majority of people were wearing helmets! Mostly elderly couples cycling. Presumably all Dutch, not foreign tourists. This is something I've never seen before, and I also don't see it in this video. So why this difference? I really have no idea. Is there an ANWB campaign or something?
Man, I miss being out on the heath
So pretty. And I enjoyed the sound of the bike on a gravel road, too. 😊
How beautiful… I do get distracted from the natural beauty by looking at the wide variety of beautiful bicycles though!😂
The more E-peds that I see… the more that I loathe them.
Prachtig gebied, probeer ook de Strabrechtse heide eens, m.n. De Hubertus bossen bij het kasteel van Heeze: één van de weinige bossen aangeplant voor recreatie in de omgeving.
Op de grote stille heide…
Niet zo stil meer tegenwoordig.
Mooi gezicht!
De hei tussen Hilversum en Laren was 18 september al vrijwel helemaal uitgebloeid.
So many cattle at the grass field at the bicycle track. Great view there
Yeah, these are the worst times for cycling through nature in the Netherlands. As a semi professional volunteer i drive 7 times a week on a Duofiets as shown @ 2:03 and with elderly people, and such bicycles take up the better part of the width of most cycling routes in the Netherlands. Makes me wish cycling routes would get widened but there is very little budget for that usually. Typically in the Netherlands, the elderly come out when the major holidays are over and kids and parents are hard at work or at school. And whilst the nature is very pretty, the constant effort of making room for the next wave of elderly people wobbling past my duofiets can take the fun of nature right out of it.
Beatiful!
Thanks. This was so relaxing. You should flog these videos as 'mindfulness' or 'wellness' videos!
The cycle paths in the woods are too narrow
