Maple Farm Adventures' climbing park is located in Bosschenhoofd at Roosendaalsebaan 4a, between Breda and Roosendaal, near Rucphen and Etten-Leur next to the A58.

Hiking between Pagnevaartbos and Retraitehuis

The Bosschenhoofd–Seppe hiking route starts in Bosschenhoofd and follows a well-signposted junction network through the town's streets. It also passes through Pagnevaartbos, a wooded area with winding paths and numerous sparrowhawks, hobbies and woodpeckers. Along its route, it reaches Seppe Airfield; several gliding clubs are based there.

The route also includes a cultural-historical section: it passes the old Retraitehuis, a historic monastery building in the neo-Gothic style. For more than a century, it served as a refuge for people seeking spiritual peace. The hike thus combines nature observation, local roads and a historic building directly along the route, without requiring you to focus on a single holiday theme.
