environs

 

Cottage and B&B border on the river-basin of the Dommel. This river meanders from Belgium via Sint-Oedenrode to the river Meuse at Den Bosch. The river-valley  is characterized by lowland fields on either side of the river. Large parts of the Dommel valley are owned by Staatsbosbeheer and Brabants Landschap and assigned as nature reserve areas.

A striking fact in this landscape are the river dunes near Vressel. Here the river collides onto a buffer-bank of 5 meters high, which was formed in the early glacial period.

Sint Oedenrode is situated at the edge of National landscape Het Groene Woud, an area of 35000 ha in the city triangle Eindhoven, Tilburg and 's-Hertogenbosch with a lot of nature, forest and heather, nice villages, historical sites and a typical, poplar landscape.

Beautiful nature reserves in the immediate vicinity are the Dommelbeemden, Mosbulten, Geelders and the Scheeken and, of course, the Vressels forest with Hazenputten and its Scottish Highlanders for natural grazing.

A little bit farther away you will find some other beautiful nature reserves which are also worthwhile to visit: Campina, Mortelen, Loonsche and Drunense Dunes and Malpie.
