Tour of Mark, Breda and Oosterhout

Your route starts at Brasserie De Goesting. Further on you drive a bit through the Markdal, an open meadow area where you regularly cycle close to the Mark river. You will also pass Bouvigne Castle, a centuries-old hunting lodge. Get off in Breda where you can view the Grote Kerk, Breda Castle and the Beguinage. On the outskirts of Oosterhout you will find various sights, such as the OLV Abbey, which is still in use by the Benedictines. Oosterhout itself is a nice old town to sit on a terrace and soak up the atmosphere. You cycle back through Boswachterij Dorst, a nature reserve that mainly consists of Scots pines that were planted on the heath in the early nineteenth century.
