Van Gogh National Park

The Van Gogh National Park is a wonderful place for walking and cycling, while at the same time discovering the unique locations that the Brabant folktales tell. It covers the area roughly between Eindhoven, Tilburg and 's-Hertogenbosch.

Van Gogh National Park is a large area in North Brabant where the famous artist Vincent van Gogh grew up. It is a beautiful area filled with meandering streams and rivers, extensive countryside and nature, sand dunes and pools, farmland and country estates, and with the most hospitable villages and towns. The hectic life in the city and the peace and quiet balance each other perfectly.

De Biesbosch National Park

De Biesbosch National Park is the largest freshwater tidal wetland in Europe, and it is a maze of rivers, creeks and little islands. The best way to explore this National Park is on the water. Hire a whisper boat, grab a canoe, hire a sloop or go on a boat tour.

Kalmthoutse Heide

Grenspark Kalmthoutse Heide (cross-border park) is on either side of the Dutch-Belgium border and consists of heathlands, fens, forests, polders and inland dunes. Rare plants grow here, and exceptional bird species feel at home here.

De Groote Peel

The beautiful De Groote Peel National Park is on the border with Limburg. This varied area with impenetrable peatlands, vast plains, picturesque fens and impressive sand ridges is a genuine paradise for nature lovers.
