Nuenens Broek is located northwest of Nuenen, near Lissevoort. Vincent van Gogh used to walk here regularly.
In the spring, Nuenens Broek is perhaps at its most beautiful. That’s when lesser celandine, wood anemone, and cuckoo flower bloom. But this area is also worth visiting the rest of the year—for example, to see goldfinches in the winter and, of course, to enjoy the beautiful colors of autumn.

Walking among the fast-growing poplars
It is a wet area, formed by countless floods of the Dommel River. Thanks to a constant supply of nutrient-rich water, it has become a fertile area. The result is fast-growing poplars and a rich undergrowth of hazel and cherry trees. Vincent van Gogh painted here (1883–1885), and local singer Gerard van Maasakkers cherishes fond memories of the Nuenens Broek. He wrote “Hee gaode mee” there, which remains one of his most famous songs. Brabants Landschap is currently working hard to make the area even more beautiful. At present, the Dommel Valley consists of a collection of separate areas. Together with the Dommel Water Board, they are attempting to connect these areas by purchasing the intervening connecting zones.
Its peaceful, intimate scale makes it perfect for a relaxing day out in nature.
