Slabroek, Rural settlement in Maashorst, Netherlands
Slabroek is a rural settlement in Maashorst featuring vacation lodges and bungalows positioned within a natural setting adjacent to the nature reserve. The accommodations include private bathrooms and can host groups of up to 20 people.
The settlement originated in the 1300s as the region began gradual development and settlement expansion. The surrounding area evolved slowly over centuries as part of the broader local land history in Noord-Brabant.
