The hospitable North Brabant

Anyone who thinks of Vincent van Gogh thinks of paintings with the most beautiful impressions. And he was good at that too, putting feeling into a picture. This is not surprising, considering the environment he came from. It can hardly be otherwise that the cozy landscape around his native village of Zundert must have been his first source of inspiration to become a painter. The cozy country houses, village streets and church buildings in North Brabant are just a bit different from the rest of the Netherlands. His birthplace was demolished more than 100 years ago now, but on that spot now stands the Van Gogh House, which is well worth a look for the enthusiast. But North Brabant wouldn't be North Brabant if there weren't some beautiful natural areas in the area. And that is also the case on this Brabant route. Nature reserve Wallsteijn, for example, is distinguished by its stately appearance with forests, avenues, ponds and estates. But also the coziness of the Oude Buisse Heide knows no time. Lose yourself in ancient times in this beautiful nature reserve. Not only van Gogh found inspiration here. Since then, opinion poet, visual artist and other artists have gained vast amounts of inspiration. Come and enjoy the extensive flora and fauna that have developed over the centuries!
