Discover the area

Hof van Eersel is located in a unique spot: right on the edge of a vast nature reserve that even extends across the Belgian border. From the gate you can walk or cycle straight into the forest. Waymarked walking and cycling routes lead you along quiet forest paths, open fields, historic villages and atmospheric spots where you can stop along the way.

The Kempen is a region full of character. Visit charming villages, Belgian abbeys and welcoming inns, or enjoy a sunny terrace along the route. In every cottage you will find several suggestions for beautiful walks, bike rides and day trips ready for you.

Eersel, the heart of the Kempen

Eersel is known for its beautiful historic market square. This protected village view is surrounded by pleasant restaurants, cafés and terraces. The culinary options in the region are surprisingly diverse: from refined dining to relaxed enjoyment in an atmospheric eatery.

A visit to the Kempen Museum is also worthwhile. Here you can gain a unique insight into how the people of the Kempen once lived, worked and went about their daily lives.

Tilburg and Eindhoven nearby

Tilburg and Eindhoven are also only about a half-hour's drive away and are ideal for a day trip.

Eindhoven is the vibrant heart of the Brainport region and a popular shopping city. It also has interesting museums, such as the Philips Museum, the DAF Museum and the Van Abbemuseum for modern art.
