Your journey begins in the Burgundian capital of North Brabant: ’s-Hertogenbosch. A city steeped in history, with the impressive St. Jans Cathedral as its shining centerpiece. After checking in at your accommodation, take a leisurely stroll across the Grote Markt and through the surrounding picturesque streets. Enjoy a cup of coffee with a traditional Bossche bol at one of the many inviting terraces. If you have time, be sure to take a boat tour on the Binnendieze – a unique way to experience the city from a different perspective. ’s-Hertogenbosch offers a beautiful start to this 6-day walking tour through the heart of Brabant.
Your day begins at the Mary Chapel inside the impressive St. Jan’s Cathedral. From this magnificent church, you walk across the Parade and leave the city behind. Before long, the trail leads you through the Bossche Broek nature reserve, offering beautiful panoramic views. You’ll pass the former home of Brabant artist Leon Adriaans and follow the path through the scenic Sterrenbosch forest. In the village of Den Dungen, admire the small chapel at De Keer and enjoy a well-earned break at the charming tea garden Op d’n Dijck. The route continues along picturesque paths and past the historic Zuiderwaterlinie (Southern Waterline). Your walking day ends at the Church of the Beheading of St. Jan in Nuland.
You begin the day at the Mary Chapel in Nuland. After crossing a few busier roads, you walk into the idyllic Aa river valley, heading toward Heeswijk Castle. Besides visiting this great sight in Brabant, you can enjoy coffee or lunch at restaurant De Barones.The trail continues past the 19th-century neo-Gothic churches in Heeswijk and Dinther. You move on to the ancient Kilsdonkse Watermill, a unique combination of a grain and oil mill. In the distance, the tower of the striking Basilica of St. Lambert in Veghel appears — a sure sign that the end of today’s walk is near.
Leaving the lively town of Veghel behind, peace and quiet soon return as you head toward the church village of Zijtaart. The route takes you through meadows and fields with wide views, alternating with the green 'Mariahoutse' Forests. Next, you reach Lieshout, home to the charming St. Servatius Chapel and the historic 'De Leest' windmill. Stop here at the friendly Bavaria Brewery Café for a bite or drink. Then you follow the straight Wilhelmina Canal, whose historic and industrial character provides a surprising backdrop for the final stretch.
The stage ends at the 14th-century tower of the St. Genoveva Church in Son en Breugel, nestled in the beautiful Dommel Valley.
After breakfast in the green village of Son en Breugel, you set off for the vibrant, modern city of Eindhoven. You follow the gently flowing Dommel River through the picturesque valley that bears its name – a route rich in peace, nature, and history. In Nederwetten, you pass the distinctive tower of the former Lambertus Church – a silent witness to centuries of Catholic heritage. Further on, in Nuenen, you’ll see the beautiful Nune Ville, once the home of Margot Begemann, the tragic lover of Vincent van Gogh. Gradually, the landscape shifts – silence gives way to urban buzz as you enter creative Eindhoven, where design, art, and hospitality come together.
After a good breakfast, your first part of the Camino Brabant comes to an end.
