Textile routes Geldrop-Mierlo

  • Geldrop

    Textile Route

The route starts in the Weaving Museum and runs along the Dommel towards the Helze. From that location, where Pessers used to be, the route goes towards the Korte Kerkstraat and then via the Stationsstraat to the Parallelweg. Via Van Agt's Villa at the Bogardeind and the Langstraat to the Heuvel. All columns are unique and tell a story about that textile location through proverbs.
