The Dommel flows from Belgium at the village of Borkel en Schaft into our country. The stream takes you right through the different landscapes of the Dommeldal. Discover remnants of a bygone era. Such as the Venbergse water mill in Valkenswaard, the Volmolen in Riethoven, the floodplains of De Plateaux and the fish ponds at the Liskes in Bergeijk. Be amazed by the Brabant landscape. In the Middle Ages, farmers worked together here to cultivate fields and meadows, to fence off hedgerows and to pollard willows.

Farmstead Kasteren

Highlight • Historical Site

The house was built before 1400 and expanded over time into the current complex. The manor house was likely added in the 15th century, and the dovecote was built in 1661. The farmhouse and manor house were restored in 1979, the dovecote in 1981. The building was mentioned as early as the 14th century as the property of Jan van Derentheren and his children.

Duits Lijntje - Liempde station

Highlight • Historical Site

The Boxtel-Wesel railway line, also called the 'German Line', was opened in 1873 by the North Brabant-German Railway Company (NBDS). The line established a direct short connection between the seaports of Vlissingen, Antwerp, Rotterdam and the German hinterland via ten Dutch and seven German stops.
Between 1888 and 1914, kings, emperors and tsars from England, Prussia and Russia, among others, used this railway to visit each other. Many pilgrims used the German Lijntje to visit the pilgrimage sites of Kevelaer, Boxmeer and Handel. During the Second World War the railway was of great importance to the Germans. The Allies used the connection at the end of the war to invade Germany. The line was closed for passenger transport in 1950 and in 2004 the NS ended freight transport, which still took place between Boxtel and Veghel.
