Holiday apartment in Hoeven: Polder landscape, history and Splesj

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Hoeven, you can plan your stay around the polder landscape, cycling, history and a large water play park. Hoeven combines nature observation, historical impressions and active leisure, without requiring you to limit yourself to just one type of holiday activity. When choosing your accommodation, you can consider whether you mainly want to spend time outdoors, explore a historic ensemble or plan an eventful family day.

Polder landscape and winter birds

The Hoevense Beemden is a polder landscape between Hoeven and Oudenbosch to the south and the Mark to the north. Walking is possible in several areas of the Hoevense Beemden; cycling is also common there. In winter, large numbers of greylag geese and greater white-fronted geese stay in this landscape. It therefore offers various opportunities for nature days involving exercise and observation.

Pagnevaartbos is a nature area of approximately 35 hectares between Oudenbosch, Hoeven and Bosschenhoofd. The Pagnevaart, an old peat canal, runs through Pagnevaartbos. Peat was formerly transported along it towards Breda and Dordrecht. This means that the nature area combines present-day landscape impressions with a history that recalls the area's former use.

Bovendonk: a historic monument with a past

Bovendonk in Hoeven is a historic monument with a history dating back to 1282. Bovendonk conveys the history of its former seminary through long corridors, stained-glass windows, a chapel and a courtyard. These specific architectural elements give visitors different perspectives on the site, from architectural details to the historical atmosphere of the spaces.

Bovendonk offers guided tours throughout the year on request for groups of ten or more. For group visits, the minimum group size of ten people represents a clear organisational requirement. If you choose your holiday apartment in Hoeven for a group trip with several people, this appointment can be a cultural highlight of your stay. Bovendonk can be reached via the A58 and A17; the Hofstraat bus stop is approximately a three-minute walk away.

Cycling and varied days out
