リースボスのおすすめランニングルート

Shady segment. Wonderful to cool down here during hot days. History: The Liesbos is first mentioned in a charter of Hendrik V, lord of Breda, from 1268. This forest on the border of Princenhage and Etten, named after the hamlet of Lies, is one of the oldest deciduous forests in the Netherlands. From the beginning of the fifteenth century until 1795, it was owned by the Nassaus, later Oranje-Nassaus, as lords of Breda. In 1795 it came to the State and now falls under Staatsbosbeheer. The Liesbos was used for hunting, a favorite activity of the high nobility such as the Oranje-Nassaus, and for timber production. It was surrounded by a wall so that game could not escape from the forest and conversely the farmers' cattle could not damage the forest. Nowadays, the recreational and nature function of the forest is paramount.

ample parking

a very nice quiet forest with many dogs

The Moerdijk Postbaan is beautifully situated. It looks like you are driving through a tunnel of trees.

Also a nice place to kick a ball or have a picnic with the kids (bring a blanket)

Nice unpaved cycle path on the Korenpad.

Cycle path right along the beautiful Liesbos. The long straight paths in the forest were once created for hunting.
