Explore the Kampina nature reserve from Boxtel

From Boxtel you can drive straight to the Kampina. But first you cross the Dommeldal, after which you can take a look at Kasteel Stapelen. The oldest mention of this castle dates back to 1293, since 1915 it has been used as a monastery by the Assumptionists. A little later you 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 may see the herd of Icelandic horses grazing here in the distance. Just past junction 90 you drive along the Dal van de Beerze for a while. At the Jacobushof you can get off for a pit stop with an extensive lunch. Via Lennisheuvel you drive back to the starting point.
