National Landscape Het Groene Woud
Cycling in an attractive landscape with dark forests, picturesque fens, a rich cultural history and characteristic villages.
The Landscape
Discover the National Landscape Het Groene Woud, a landscape reserve with an area of no less than 35,000 hectares between Tilburg, Eindhoven and Den Bosch. The area has a nature core of 7,500 hectares spread over twenty-one different nature reserves. Forests, swamps, heath and poplar meadows are important ingredients here. Between the nature reserves, the small-scale cultural landscape in particular adds a characteristic element to the National Landscape. You will therefore cycle in a wide variety of old cultural areas with arable fields, meadows, pollard willows and hedgerows, which have their origins from the time when man started to cultivate the wastelands. Numerous winding streams here form the lifeline for humans and animals. Fortunately, the wild areas were not cultivated everywhere. As a result, rugged nature reserves with extensive moors, forests and sand drifts were preserved for the future.
