Entrance of the castle in Helmond	One of the guard towers in front of the castle.

Inside the centrecourt, looking at the entrance.	An engraved stone on display.

A cannon dating from 1580.	Even in a centuries old castle, there is room for parking bicycles.

Looking outside through the gate.	A view of an old store.

Two old houses.	A square full of cube houses.

The inside of the square.	The cycle-path along the canal to Aarle-Rixtel.

The bridge to Aarle-Rixtel just coming into view.	The entrance to Aarle-Rixtel across the bridge.

A nice old house just right of the bridge.	The draw bridge to Aarle-Rixtel. These are quite common along the canals. They allow boats to pass without the road having to be elevated.

Turning to the right towards the "Wilhelminakanaal" near Lieshout. On the right is a "toadstool" with directions for cyclists.	Cycling along the canal on my Challenge Hurricane Tour recumbent.

A widening of the canal near Achterbosch to enable boats to turn, I believe.	This cyclepath follows the river "Dommel".

Same position, looking back.	A crossing on the "Bisschop Bekkerslaan". There are separate cyclist and pedestrian paths, and each have their own traffic lights.
