a nice view from the bridge. The Broekleij flows through a wide valley in a largely open landscape from Haaren to Cromvoirt. Nowadays you will find meadows and fields here, mainly corn, and here and there are some hedgerows and bushes. But before exploitation, this area was mainly marshlands and wetlands.
The Broekleij is fed at its upper stream by the Ruygbossche Loop and the Oude Leij. Until the twentieth century, it flowed between Helvoirt and Cromvoirt into the Zandleij, after which the water flowed via the Bossche Sloot and the Dieze to the Maas.
