Explore the Kampina nature reserve from Boxtel

From Boxtel you can drive to Kampina in no time. But first you cross the Dommeldal, after which you can have a look at Kasteel Stapelen. The oldest mention of this castle dates back to 1293, since 1915 it is used as a monastery by the Assumptionists. A little later you can see the forests of the Kampina appear on the horizon. The deeper you drive into this nature reserve, the quieter it becomes. Grab a bench and enjoy the view over the heath. You might see the herd of Icelandic horses grazing here in the distance. Just past junction 90 you drive a bit along the Dal van de Beerze. At the Jacobushof you can get off for a pit stop with an extensive lunch. Via Lennisheuvel you drive back to the starting point.
