Route Summary
Ever since the early 90s of the last century, Promotor has been setting out the so-called Tank Bag Tours. You understand that the name still comes from the GPS-free era, when motorcyclists still searched their way on inland roads with a roadbook in the tank bag or router roll. The 173 ANWB Promoter TankTasTocht (TTT) were scanned by Henry ten Dam and signed by Leon Stolk in Mapsource and later placed as a Track in a .gpx file. These have been made available through the MrGPS website with the approval of the ANWB Promoter so that everyone can enjoy it. The 1st TTT is from 1992, so the route may differ slightly from the original.
I have checked all route points and, where necessary, placed them neatly on the road. Also, if necessary, I have further spaced the start point and end point of the route to avoid navigating directly to the end point and I added the POI files from the start and end point just like a possible stop point.
Finally, I made the route the same for TomTom, Garmin and MyRoute-app Navigation users.
Thanks to Henry, Leon, MrGPS and Promoter.

RouteXpert Review
This TTT starts in Leende and goes mainly on, except for 4 km of highway, beautiful roads, through the Brabant and Limburg country to Maasbree where the end point is. After the start, go via Leende to Soerendonk and then drive through the Weerterbos * to Someren-Eind.
* The Weerterbos is a nature reserve in the Dutch province of Limburg, located northwest of Weert. The area is located on the territory of the municipality of Nederweert. The Weerterbos consists of forests, fens, grassland and small moors. (Source: Wikipedia).
We then descend to the "White town" of Thorn ** and then enter Belgium for the coffee break in Kinrooi.
** The white town of Thorn, visited by many tourists, has a rich history, dating back to the end of the 10th century. In the course of time a miniature principality developed under the leadership of an abbess and 20 noble monastic ladies. The state had its own case law and struck its own coin. In 1794 this came to an end with the arrival of the French. Then Thorn got its distinctive white color. After the noble ladies fled, the French introduced a tax based on the size of the windows. The poor population, often living in large buildings, previously belonging to rich people, could not afford it. To limit the amount of the tax assessment, the windows were bricked up. With the aim of hiding the construction tracks ("scars of poverty"), the houses were whitewashed.
After coffee we cross the border at Maaseik back to the Netherlands and at Maasbracht we go for 4 KM on the highway to get off at Panheel. We drive in a northerly direction to Helden where you enter via the Heldense Bossen and then meandering to the end point in Maasbree.
Because I have driven large parts of this route myself, this route gets 4 stars.
