Nestling among trees and encompassed by a richly diverse landscape of heather fields, woodland, fens and farmland, Landal Het Vennenbos sits virtually on the Holland-Belgium border in the heart of Noord-Brabant. There is plenty to see and do within this wonderful area including De Efteling amusement park, zoos and museums. Add an unbeatable array of children’s facilities and you have a perfect base for making the most of your European holiday.
Enjoy a fantastic Subtropical Water Paradise boasting a ’black hole’ water chute with stars and signal lights, wave maker and kids’ jungle pool which offer hours of splashing fun. Alternatively, there’s the indoor kids’ paradise, adventure playground, kids’ club activities… or the whole family can simply relax and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. It’s easy to see why Brabant was a former favourite with royals holding court. Teaming with beautiful woods, moors, fields and glades, and maintaining its Burgundian hospitality and warmth, this captivating area has a distinct charm.
Holland, Belgium and Germany are also ripe for exploration - thanks to excellent road links opening up endless possibilities. An absolute must is Hilvarenbeek’s 250-acre safari park Beekse Bergen (18km), and the town’s national liquor museum. Conservation areas and animal parks abound, as do amusement parks - including the notable Efteling fairytale theme park at Kaatsheuvel (41km) promising magic for young and old alike. Tilburg and Eindhoven both make interesting excursions, while further afield Antwerp (70km) offers a wonderful day trip with its fascinating Sunday morning market, Rubens Museum and world-famous zoo.
