Hiking in the Kempen
The Brabantse Kempen, within cycling distance of Camping De Bocht in Oirschot, is a beautiful and particularly woody nature reserve in the Dutch part of the region, with the same reserve continuing across the border into Belgium. The most important part of this nature reserve, which is very popular with young and old and has a wide range of beautiful cycling routes, walking routes and campsites, is formed by Boswachterij De Kempen. This is an area of over a thousand hectares – nestled between the Brabant towns of Eersel, Bladel and Reusel-De Mierden – which is owned by Staatsbosbeheer.
The wooded area, containing many historic church villages, fairy-tale marshes, endless fields, quiet heather with areas of sand, not to mention the excellent facilities for both cyclists and walkers, make the Brabant Kempen a true paradise for everyone who loves peace and quiet, and space to think. Add to this the nature, typical of Brabant, the character of the Kempen and the friendliness of its inhabitants, and you understand why more and more nature lovers come to this beautiful area for walking, cycling and / or camping.
