ハルダーベルゲ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

De Oude Buisse Heide is a historic estate of approximately 200 hectares in the municipality of Zundert, near Achtmaal. It is known for its unique combination of nature and cultural history, partly because it was the former summer residence of the artist couple Henriette and Richard Roland Holst. Cultural Heritage: The Roland Holst couple hosted famous guests here and found inspiration for their work. Henriette donated the area to Natuurmonumenten in 1945. Historic Buildings: On the estate, you will find the Buisse Hoeve, the Angorahoeve (the former residence), and Richard Roland Holst's Studio. Some of these properties are available for rent as holiday homes through Buitenleven Vakanties. Vincent van Gogh: The famous painter also developed his love for nature in this area.

Interesting history... There is also a bench nearby to rest or eat something. Nice spot in the forest.

Beautiful piece of nature

It's a shame that the cycle path is not swept well, there is a lot of rubbish on it

At this highlight you have a beautiful viewpoint over the water where you can observe the ins and outs of our economy.

The connection of Brabant with Holland over the Hollands Diep has a long history. A railway bridge was built in 1872, followed by a road bridge in 1936. In 1978, the Moerdijkbrug monument was erected at the bridge.

Suddenly there is a barrier and a red and white guardhouse. At this point you cross the border between the Netherlands and Belgium. Next to the house is a pole with a cross and the letters KV carved into it. This pole is known as the shit pole, because the customs officers relieved themselves behind this pole. KV stands for Klaveren Vrouwke. This is an alias of Geert Schrauwen from St. Willebrord. A master smuggler who was shot dead by the border guard at this location in 1916. He owed his nickname to his special way of working. Geert dressed up while smuggling. Often as a woman, because women were not frisked at that time. The shooting of a smuggler was striking. Most small-time smugglers got away with a fine and possibly a night in jail. In the case of major smuggling operations, a prison sentence of several months sometimes followed. But Geert Schrauwen was no angel. Before his smuggling activities, he was already involved in a robbery, and he was also suspected of a murder in Rijsbergen. Before he was shot dead, Het Klaveren Vrouwke was banished from the Netherlands because he allegedly stole an army uniform. Source: https://www.fietsnetwerk.nl/knooppunt/strontpaal-essen/
