Enjoy the flora and fauna around you.


The Langstraat is characterized by a unique landscape. On the north side the area is cut off by the dikes & clay soil of the Bergsche Maas, while about 10 kilometers south of this is one of the most extensive drift sand areas in Western Europe: De Loonse en Drunense Duinen. Are you a peace and quiet seeker? Then visit the smaller nature reserves, such as the Vlijmens Ven, De Moerputten, the Baardwijkse Overlaat, Natuurgebied Westelijke Langstraat and Huis ter Heide.
