De Moer combines nature, hiking trails, cycling experiences, regional agriculture and cultural history.

When you choose a holiday apartment in De Moer, you can tailor your plans to the landscape, trail characteristics, history or regional products.

Huis ter Heide nature reserve: woodland, heathland and moorland lakes

Huis ter Heide near De Moer is a varied nature reserve with woodland, heathland and moorland lakes. The southern part contains 24 artificial moorland lakes, which together form a valuable habitat for various amphibians and birds. A southern hiking route leads through the nature reserve, passing through woodland and open fields and alongside expansive moorland lakes. Huis ter Heide therefore offers a combination of landscape and activity for travel plans that combine nature observation with active days.

Hiking trails at Moerven and Leikeven

A particularly distinctive section of trail is the more than 250-metre-long wooden footbridge over the Moerven. Those who want to choose a route based on its character will find clear information about the surface on the hiking route to Leikeven: Most of the route follows an asphalt path, with one section on a firm sandy path that is accessible by mobility scooter. The viewpoint at Leikeven has benches and is suitable for wheelchair and mobility scooter users.

Sint-Joachim Church and historic routes

The Sint-Joachim Church in De Moer was built in 1902 in the neo-Gothic style, based on a design by the architect C. F. van Hoof. From a cultural and historical perspective, it is an example of ecclesiastical and administrative development, particularly the establishment of new Catholic church villages in Midden-Brabant.

The Molenbaan also reflects an earlier connection: before 1894, when De Moer did not yet have its own church, residents of the surrounding farms and of De Moer used it as a church path to the church in Loon op Zand.

Church route by bicycle

The Church Route focuses on Catholic churches and is laid out as a cycling tour from Loon op Zand towards De Moer and the neo-Gothic Sint-Joachim Church dating from 1902. Like the Sint Jan in Kaatsheuvel, it was also designed by Cornelis van Hoof. The cycling route thus complements the hiking and cultural themes with another way to explore the history of the towns.

Brabant farm life and regional products

Brabant rural life can be discovered at Boerderij De Annahoeve. The almost 100-year-old farm is located in the Brabant village of De Moer and borders the Huis ter Heide nature reserve. The farm offers guided tours of its modern dairy operation for groups. The farm shop sells meat from its own farm and Brabant Duingoed cheese. Nature, farm life and regional products therefore offer different focal points for your holiday days.

Holiday apartment in De Moer: your personal priorities

Hotel-Restaurant De Zwammenberg has private parking, two charging stations for cars and a charging station for electric bicycles.

Depending on your preferred daily rhythm, you can decide which of these themes should shape your travel plans.
