Barony of Breda and Chaam Forests
Cycling in a historic landscape with impressive forests, moors, peat bogs and meandering streams.
The Landscape
The landscape south of Breda was primarily shaped by the planting of forests by nobility in the 16th century. This area features some of the oldest and most impressive forests in the region, interspersed with heathlands, peat bogs, woodland meadows, and small ponds. The region's Burgundian character is reflected in the many estates, stately avenues, and winding brooks. Stunning views along the meandering Mark River, the extensive Chaam Forests, and the largest summer oak forest in the Netherlands contribute to the picturesque and park-like setting of the Barony of Breda.
