Cycling in and around the Blue Gate

(14.0 km)

'Blue Gate Laarbeek' refers to the municipality of Laarbeek as the water gate of the Peel. The area used to be referred to as De Leek and was often flooded. Now, when it rains heavily, the water storage area fills with water from the large industrial estate on the opposite side of the N279. From the water storage area, the water is pumped to the water farm. The result: a large tank of water as a reserve for farmers in dry times. Since 2018, there has been an innovative water storage and water farm here, which also makes meadow birds and fish such as the big mud creeper happy. Over new walking and cycling paths and from an educational watchtower, you can enjoy this area. This not too long cycle tour takes you through and around this beautiful area.
