Mierlo

Discover the serene beauty of Mierlo, a peaceful gem in the heart of North Brabant, where the expansive Mierlo-Houtse Heide nature reserve unfolds with vast heather fields, pine forests, and quiet walking and cycling paths perfect for spotting deer, birds, and rare butterflies in spring and summer, while the charming village center offers cozy cafés, traditional Dutch bakeries, and the historic Sint-Martinuskerk with its striking tower overlooking the green surroundings.
