We challenge you to come and enjoy..

To relax, taste, enjoy, play, experience and be together. With the whole family. And where better to do that than in the heart of North Brabant. An area full of hidden treasures. With a rich textile and leather history, lots of countryside and fairy tales that come true..

This is the place to be in Brabant if you want to hear birdsong and go off the beaten track. If you want to have some serious fun in perhaps the largest outdoor playground in the Netherlands, or see how loud you can scream in the newest roller coaster. If you want to go on a safari and spot the big five, admire stunning natural vistas from up high or from the water. But also if you simply want to dream away in a fairy-tale setting with nothing but the sound of crickets, frogs and birds in the background.

Another gem in the heart of Brabant is the beautiful village of Oisterwijk with its lovely boutiques and charming high street. Hilvarenbeek with its delightful central park Vrijthof, and Waalwijk, which boasts an old railway line which is now an unusual footpath. And of course Tilburg, with its brand-new Spoorpark and the industrial-chic Spoorzone where you can enjoy the trendy (food) concepts, impressive buildings and architecture as an absolute must-do.
