‘A unique location’
In the (cycling) café, the sporty kind can choose from a range of nutritious and healthy meals, while others can sit back and enjoy the speciality beers and other drinks on offer. After an active day in the fresh air, let your body rest in one of the unique cottages, chalets or glamping lodges or in the cosy overnight space in the main building. Whatever you decide, you will be woken in the mornings by ducks and birdsong as you watch the first rays of sunlight emerge over the water. Past guests have described it as a ‘unique location’, ‘welcoming and hospitable’ and even a ‘wonderland’.
It’s also a great location for team-building events and fully organised clinics – active, passionate and inspiring!
The surroundings
You can also pursue your own independent activities in the local area, just ask the multilingual staff for the best routes, maybe rent a bike, and go off and explore. The Vlagheideberg itself should not be absent from your to-do list, although for an easier time of things, take a tour through the Maashorst, Kampina or the Eerdse Bossen and Bergen. Prefer some shopping or culture? Eerde is on the A50, so it’s easy access to both ’s-Hertogenbosch and Eindhoven...
