Tips

The Mastbos, built by Hendrik III of Nassau, is also called the 'backyard of Breda'. You walk from the Ginneken district straight into the forest. Residents of Breda, but also many nature seekers from abroad, use the forest for walking and cycling, for sports and relaxation or to simply enjoy nature.
At over 500 years old, this 'royal backyard' is one of the oldest coniferous forests in the Netherlands and, after the Wouwse Plantage, the oldest cultivated forest in our country. Count Henry III of Nassau had the forest created in 1515 with seed from the Scots pine from Nuremberg, Germany. The Mastbos was a production forest. The wood was used in the renovation of Breda Castle, for the Spanish fleet and later for the masts of VOC ships. The Nassaus also used it as a hunting ground.
