Discover the forester’s secret
One of the most unique bicycle tours in North Brabant is the one related to the adventures of the detectives Spekkie and Sproet. This famous exploring duo, originating from the brain of children’s author Vivian den Hollander, has also had an effect on the area around 't Smokkelstrand. Listen to the story and unravel the forester’s secret during an exciting ride. Or take the sportier route to the Acht van Chaam, which also takes you past the birthplace of Vincent van Gogh in Zundert!

In any case, the area around ’t Smokkelstrand is great for exploring. The Chaam woods, ’t Zand recreational area and the Ulvenhout woods are all just a (short) bicycle ride away. Should you want to visit a city: gastronomic Breda is just around the corner.

A tip for visiting cyclists: the brasserie has a varied menu with both meat and fish dishes, vegetarian options and a children's menu. The light dishes are popular among cyclists. These includes a fresh salad or a delicious flatbread. Ideal for regaining energy!
