Out in nature

North Brabant region brings you closer to the countryside, so you can recharge, rest, play and exercise. With no fewer than four national parks and a large network of walking and cycling routes, Brabant is the place to be if you are an outdoor enthusiast.

In North Brabant, you could come face to face with a beaver or bison. Explore the unique countryside of the Biesbosch National Park or Van Gogh National Park or dive straight into the natural greenery from the city. In Brabant, you are never far from an exceptional nature area. It is with good reason that the Brabant countryside inspired no one less than Van Gogh to create his most famous artworks.
