Van Gogh cycle route Zundert Northeast

Vincent van Gogh was born in Zundert on March 30, 1853. The Vincent van Gogh House is located on the spot where the old parsonage of the Dutch Reformed Church once stood. This is where Vincent spent his first sixteen years of life. Get on your bike and explore the place where Vincent's personality and artistry originated.

During this Van Gogh cycle route you can first get acquainted with the six Van Gogh Monuments in Zundert. You cycle through a picturesque landscape, via the Markdal and along the De Mark river towards Breda and then via several hamlets towards Etten-Leur. This route does not go directly into the city centers. You can of course consider following the Van Gogh cycle route to Etten-Leur or Breda.

Back to Zundert you pass through the Pannenhoef nature reserve. Here, eleven drained fens have been excavated again and brought back to life, with historical names such as'de Flesch\\\','Hazemerenven\\\','de Lokker\\\' and \\ \'the container\\\'. Pure nature, as Vincent must have seen it. There are informative audio columns in the center of Zundert (near the Van Gogh House and the church) and in the Pannenhoef (near the Zwarte Schuur).
