Van Gogh National Park
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.
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.
