Het Gulden Land

Gemeinsam mit der Gemeinde Helmond und Waterschap Aa en Maas entwickelt die Gemeinde Laarbeek das Gebiet vom Kop van Aarle-Rixtel über die Bundertjes bis zum Zentrum von Helmond-Noord unter dem Namen: 't Gulden Land. Dieser Name bezieht sich auf den Bach Gulden Aa, der durch das Gebiet fließt. Außerdem stand früher das Gulden Huis in der Mitte des Gebietes. 't Gulden Land soll ein Ort werden, an dem Natur, Wasser, Kulturgeschichte und Erholung Hand in Hand gehen. Das Gebiet wird in den kommenden Jahren weiter ausgebaut, aber schon jetzt kann man hier wunderbar spazieren gehen.

Ruweeuwsels

The Ruweeuwsels formed the southwestern boundary of the domain of Lieshout in the Middle Ages. By eeuwsel was generally understood a low-lying, somewhat swampy area, overgrown with brushwood, thorn bushes and here and there grass of poor quality. In 1760, the eeuwsel was made suitable for forestry. For this purpose, the entire area was levelled, after which ditches were dug, between which rows of trees were planted.

The current Ruweeuwsels therefore first date from 1760 and are not an original piece of Brabant nature, as is sometimes assumed. In 1918, the municipality of Lieshout bought several adjacent plots of land, giving the Ruweeuwsels their current size. Timber production had been continued by the various owners, until the Ruweeuwsels came into the possession of the Brabants Landschap Foundation in 1968 and the emphasis shifted entirely to the scenic value of the Ruweeuwsels.
