Learning route Waalwijk | Made in Brabant

Visit De Langstraat
In the early 19th century, De Langstraat region grew into the center of the shoe and leather industry. This route goes partly along the Halve Zolenpad, a beautiful bike path along the former freight railroad line between Lage Zwaluwe and 's-Hertogenbosch. You cycle past old shoe factories, former tanneries, workers' cottages and other souvenirs of the rich shoemaking past. And there is much more to do in this versatile region. On our website you will find fun outings, more beautiful hiking and biking routes, natural areas, stores, galleries and restaurants.

Made in Brabant routes
Brabant: the creative engine of the Netherlands. As much as 24% of what the Dutch produce in the manufacturing industry is still made in Brabant. Old crafts, industrial heritage, but also innovative high-tech companies can be found in many places in the province, each with its own special story. From old crafts like leather tanning and beer brewing to large multinationals and smaller creative entrepreneurs: Brabant has it all. We combine beautiful nature with (old) industries to typical Brabant cycling and walking routes. Check them all out.
