A cycling route from the local heritage association complements this selection.

Holiday apartment in Berghem between polder landscape and woodland

For walkers, the 11.7 km Ommetje Berghem route is the main attraction. The route leads through the village of Berghem and along the open polder landscape and the forests of Herperduin. It runs entirely along the hiking junction network; in Herperduin, almost all paths are unpaved. The Pastorietuin Berghem behind the Willibrordus Church serves as a public park. The length of the Ommetje Berghem can be planned as a separate part of the day. Trees planted when the former rectory garden was created in 1903 are still standing there. This means that a single trip takes in open countryside, woodland paths and a historically characterful park.

Racing, theater and outdoor experiences

The Arrive-&-Drive program at Circuit Park Berghem includes two-hour endurance races with Kombikart Eco karts. The outdoor racing circuit Circuit Park Berghem is 1,300 meters long and 8 meters wide. On the outskirts of Berghem in Noord-Brabant, the Hoessenbosch Open-Air Theater is also located in a wooded setting. Visitors can enjoy theater performances, cabaret, music, films and events there. Alongside paths through the countryside, Berghem therefore also offers specific destinations for days focused on shared experiences, stage programs or racing.

Churches and architectural history in Berghem

The larger Willibrordus Church in Berghem was built in 1524. A massive tower was added in 1531; its lower section has survived to this day. The tower also served as a meeting place for the aldermen, the secretary’s office and, in times of war, as a defensive tower. The St. Willibrordus Church in Berghem was built from 1900 to 1903 by W. van Aalst as a three-aisled cruciform basilica in the neo-Gothic style, next to the tower of the late-Gothic parish church. The Kempische Langgiebel farm complex adds to this picture: its residential section was built in 1792 and its agricultural section in 1796.
