Walking in the Barony of Breda

The Baronie van Breda is a vast nature reserve around Breda. This walk takes you through a few sub-areas: the Strijbeekse Heide and the Chaambos. The route starts at Huis ten Bosch Familierestaurant. Enjoy a coffee with something delicious here before you walk to the Strijbeekse Heide. It is wonderfully quiet here, so close to the border with Belgium. Further on you pass a monumental nineteenth-century farm that belongs to Landgoed Hondsdonk. In the Chaambos, just before junction 51, there are pieces of forest that are about 1000 years old. When you walk out of the woods, you walk on a car-free road through the hamlet of Snijders-Chaam, where you will see a few beautiful thatched farmhouses. Further on, walk along the flowery grasslands, pollard willows and hedgerows of Het Broek. Beautiful!
