Valkenberg

Valkenberg is a nature area and estate in the northern part of North Brabant with wooded sections, open fields, and water features. The grounds contain a range of plant and animal life across these different environments.

The land started as farmland and was later converted to a protected natural space. This change shows how land use shifted in the Dutch countryside over time.

The place attracts locals who walk, cycle, and spend time outdoors in their free hours. People use the paths and open spaces as part of how they connect with nature in their daily lives.

The grounds have well-kept walking and cycling paths that are easy to follow. Bus stops are located near the main entrances, making it easy to reach by public transport.

The place mixes traditional Dutch landscape design with modern nature protection practices. This blend creates a space where older design ideas and current efforts to protect local wildlife meet.
