Nature and surroundings
The Bakelse Bos is a 115-hectare coniferous woodland and the ideal green lung of the city. The former municipal forest, popularly called "the Bakel Woods," is located in an area that belonged to the municipality of Bakel and Milheeze until the 1960s. Since then it has become largely enclosed between the Helmond urban districts of Rijpelberg and Dierdonk. On the east side it is bordered by the valley of the Bakelse Aa; on the west side by the Zuid-Willemsvaart. The forest is crossed by a number of bicycle paths. The oldest forest plots date from 1915. Because of its location on former drifting sand (or "blowing sand," as the Helmond people call it), the forest consists mainly of Scots pines and other softwood species. Notable are the drift mounds, a juniper thicket that is quite rare for the Netherlands, a piece of open drifting sand ("the shooting range") and a small heath field. The forest offers a great diversity of birds, from the blackbird and the jay to the blue tit and the great spotted woodpecker.
