Discover this region in Brabant during the Easter and May vacations

For families, De Langstraat is a true paradise. The Loonse and Drunense Dunes are ideal for letting the kids loose on the large sand flats or taking a walk in the woods. Or visit Huis ter Heide for a walk, where you can see spring awakening and come face to face with beautiful Scottish Highlanders.

Historic fortified towns like Heusden and Geertruidenberg also have a lot to offer. Go on a treasure hunt through the town or discover the proverb routes - fun and educational for young and old. And don't forget to stop by the Schoenenkwartier in Waalwijk. This museum provides a fresh perspective on the history of shoes and leather. Or go for the children's treasure hunt at Museum Het Gouverneurshuis while parents/guardians enjoy the beautiful exhibits.

Want to end the day or your outing in style? Enjoy lunch or dinner in one of the region's cozy restaurants. And if you need more time to explore everything, book an overnight stay in a hotel, B&B or vacation park. Staying overnight in the towns and villages of De Langstraat will make your vacation complete.

In Heusden Vesting you will find art studios, cozy stores and atmospheric streets. Also in fortified town Geertruidenberg you can stroll and enjoy the hospitality of Brabant. Combine your visit with one of the many cycling or walking routes in or around Heusden or Geertruidenberg itself. Or look further afield in the region, such as Kaatsheuvel, Waalwijk, Loon op Zand or National Park De Biesbosch.

There's no better way to end a day than with a visit to a local café or an atmospheric restaurant. And do you want to completely immerse yourself in Brabant's springtime? Opt for an overnight stay and make it a mini-holiday.

Escape from the hustle and bustle? Discover the peace and beauty of nature. Walking in the Loonse and Drunense Dunes, Huis ter Heide or the Vlijmens Ven will bring you complete relaxation. Nature reserve the Westelijke Langstraat is also a must, but beware: most of the year you need good rain boots or waterproof (high) shoes here.

Lovers of history can indulge in Geertruidenberg, where, for example, you will find walking routes about the stories of World War II. These routes make a deep impression.
