Red Track Luyksgestel
Surroundings
The Boscheindroute lies roughly to the west of Luyksgestel. The route passes through the woodland areas of Postelse Heide, Venakkerbosch, Riebos and Stevensbergen. Each area has its own distinctive flora and fauna. Close to the Belgian border lies the highest point (43.7 metres above sea level) in Brabant. The ground vegetation consists mainly of various species of mosses and herbs. Around fifty species of birds breed in the area, including rare birds such as goshawks, buzzards, hobby falcons and owls. Amphibians and reptiles live mainly on the heathland. In addition, a wide range of mammals have their permanent home here.

Description
The 35-kilometre-long Boscheindroute is a relatively flat route consisting almost entirely of unpaved paths. Many of the paths are specially constructed single tracks.
The route is not difficult, but its length provides plenty of challenge.
Parts of the route are used by motocross riders and horse riders; within the route, you can cycle various loops.
Four permanent mountain bike routes have been marked out in the Kempen forests. These routes can be linked together, creating a network of over 120 km.
The other routes are those in Bladel, Eersel and Reusel.
