Leenderbos, Groote Heide & De Plateaux
Leenderbos, Groote Heide & De Plateaux, Nature area in Noord-Brabant, Netherlands.
The protected area spans 4,356 hectares between Eindhoven and Achel, featuring pine forests, heathlands, and several stream valleys across sandy ridges.
Between 1932 and 1941, workers planted pine trees throughout Leenderbos during employment programs, transforming the former heathland into production forests.
Falconers from Leenderstrijp and Valkenswaard established traditions in the region, leading to the naming of the Valkenhorst estate.
The nature reserve contains an extensive network of paths for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding, with multiple entry points including Leenderbos Strijperpad.
The Klein Hasselsven within the reserve represents a pingo ruin, formed during the last ice age, supporting specific vegetation in its acidic environment.
