Fortified town of Geertruidenberg

Geertruidenberg is an attractive, historic fortified city where the rich past is still visible everywhere. Within the old city walls you will find impressive monuments and well-preserved defensive works, such as moats, bulwarks and ravelins, which are reminders of the city's military history.

In the heart of Geertruidenberg is the cozy market, surrounded by characteristic buildings and nice terraces. From here you have a beautiful view of the impressive Geertruidskerk, which you can also climb for a great view of the city and surroundings.

Besides culture and history, Geertruidenberg also offers plenty of opportunities to relax. Take a walk through the narrow streets of the fortified city or head into the nature around the city for a peaceful and green environment.

It's about a half-hour drive from Breda to Geertruidenberg, so it's really worth a visit!

Escaperoom The Fort

The best days out in Brabant can be booked through Uit in Zuid. One of the exciting activities is the escaperoom Het Fort in Raamsdonksveer.

Here you can choose from two rooms: The Bomb Cellar and The Medicine. In The Bomb Cellar, as bodyguards, you are given the important mission Napoleon Bonaparte left behind after his death. In The Medicine you step back to the year 1945, when part of the Netherlands has already been liberated and another part is not yet. In this occupied territory it is very difficult to get medicine, and it is up to you to find a solution.

This activity is suitable for groups of 2 to 16 people. Work together, solve puzzles and try to escape within one hour, time goes faster than you think!

Want a fun getaway near Breda? Then this is definitely a must!

't Bourgondisch Hof

If you like indoor games and activities, 't Bourgondisch Hof in Waalwijk is the right place for you. Here you will find different activities for all kinds of interests.

For example, you can spend an enjoyable evening bowling or show off your singing skills at karaoke. A real eye-catcher is Glowgolf: a mini-golf experience in the dark with light effects and 3D elements, making it extra fun and special.

Moreover, before or after the activities you can have a nice dinner or a drink in a cozy atmosphere. The location is also very suitable for (children's) parties, making it a nice place for both small and larger groups.

The Efteling

Want a fun day out with friends or family? Then the Efteling in Kaatsheuvel is an excellent choice.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting stories of the Sprookjesbos (Fairytale Forest) or experience thrills and spills during a ride on the roller coaster Joris en de Draak. The park offers something for everyone: from quiet, magical attractions to spectacular and fast roller coasters.

The Efteling is ideal for children, but adults can also find the child in themselves again. The park takes you for a day in a world of fantasy, where you imagine yourself in a different reality.

De Loonse en Drunense Duinen

Tired of the hustle and bustle of the city? Then an afternoon in the Loonse en Drunense Duinen is highly recommended to unwind in nature.

You can walk or bike through forests and across vast sandy plains. Not for nothing is this area also called the "Sahara of Brabant". The varied landscape makes it a special and unique nature reserve to visit.

After your walk or bike ride, relax on a terrace at, for example, De Drie Linden or De Rustende Jager, both located in or near the forest area.

Want something different from the hustle and bustle of the city of Breda? Then come to the Loonse and Drunense Dunes!
