The Van Gogh cycle route starts at Het Noordbrabants Museum. This museum has a collection of artefacts and works of art which have some connection with the art, history and culture of the province of North Brabant and the Southern Netherlands. You will come face to face with genuine Van Gogh paintings in a special pavilion. That’s definitely worth a visit! Cycle from culture to nature; this route will take you mainly through the beautiful countryside on the south of the provincial capital. Just like cycling through a painting.
How does the Van Gogh cycle route work?
The Van Gogh cycle route forms part of the cycle route network in Brabant. There is a Van Gogh cycle route sign at every intersection. Follow the Van Gogh cycle route signs from one numbered intersection to the other. Follow the cycle route network signs between the intersections.
