Holiday apartment in Hoogerheide: Brabantse Wal, trails and cultural heritage

Hoogerheide combines a distinctive landscape with notable cultural sites. If you are planning a stay in a holiday apartment in Hoogerheide, you can shape your visit according to your interests: the Brabantse Wal offers a view of this distinctive landform, while churches, chapels and Mattemburgh Estate add historical and architectural highlights.

Brabantse Wal and geological monument

The Brabantse Wal runs through Hoogerheide. Its escarpment has an elevation difference of up to 22 metres and has the status of a geological monument. The Brabantse Wal is also part of De Zoom–Kalmthoutse Heide Cross-Border Park, which was established in 2001. Hoogerheide therefore brings together a clearly defined landform and a cross-border natural area. For a day of hiking, the elevation difference of up to 22 metres provides a concrete indication of the Brabantse Wal's scale.

Hiking and cycling routes for different days

Hiking route 3, “De Koepel – Zuidpolder Woensdrecht”, leads from Hoogerheide to De Koepel. In addition, the Woensdrecht Monuments Route starts in Hoogerheide. The Woensdrecht VVV Information Point offers cycling and hiking routes as well as further tourist inspiration. This gives you various route options for your planning: you can combine exercise in the landscape with a route to culturally significant destinations or vary the focus of your days. The connection to De Koepel and the starting point of the Monuments Route offer different focuses for a day in Hoogerheide.

Churches and memorial sites

The present-day Onze-Lieve-Vrouw-Hemelvaartkerk in Hoogerheide was consecrated in 1912. Its organ had already been built in 1887 by Van Dam & Zn for the Gasthuiskerk in Zierikzee. The Mariakapel is also one of the area's notable cultural sites. It was built on the initiative of several residents of the Wouwbaan and commemorates the end of the occupation in 1945. The church and chapel thus offer two historical perspectives within Hoogerheide. Both sites combine visible architectural history with different historical associations.

Mattemburgh Estate and distinctive garden culture

The historic Mattemburgh Estate includes a garden pavilion with an ice cellar. Mattemburgh Estate also includes gardens, the park woodland and the Mattemburgh orangery. One special detail is the Fürst-Pückler bed: it is a flower bed unique in the Netherlands. In addition to the estate itself, Mattemburgh therefore offers several specific themes for visitors interested in historic grounds, garden designs and unusual details. The Fürst-Pückler bed complements the garden and park areas as a distinct design feature and adds a focus on historic grounds and garden designs to the planning of a day in Hoogerheide on different days of your holiday.

Choose the right holiday apartment based on your holiday focus

When choosing a holiday apartment in Hoogerheide, your preferred daily activities are a useful criterion. The landscape and routes create a different focus from the church, chapel and Mattemburgh Estate. Which accommodation suits you best depends on your personal plans and the balance you want between nature, activity and culture.
