Van Gogh cycle route Zundert Northeast

Vincent van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Zundert. The Vincent van GoghHuis stands on the spot where the old rectory 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 river De Mark towards Breda and then via a few hamlets towards Etten-Leur. This route does not go directly into the city centres. You can of course consider following the Van Gogh cycle route to Etten-Leur or Breda.

On your way back to Zundert you pass through the Pannenhoef nature reserve. Here, eleven drained fens have been dug out and brought back to life, with historical names such as 'de Flesch', 'Hazemerenven', 'de Lokker' and 'de Bak'. Pure nature, as Vincent must have seen it. In the centre of Zundert (near the Van GoghHuis and the church) and in the Pannenhoef (near the Zwarte Schuur) there are informative audio columns.
