Holiday apartment in Zundert: Van Gogh, nature and Corso

Zundert combines Van Gogh history, expansive landscapes and an extraordinary festival tradition. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Zundert, you can shape your stay around culture, walks, cycling tours and special events. The town offers remarkable contrasts: quiet paths through forests and heathland stand alongside the colourful Corso Zundert, while Vincent van Gogh's history is present at several specific locations.

Discover Van Gogh in Zundert

Vincent van Gogh was born and grew up in Zundert. The Vincent van GoghHuis stands at his birthplace and offers an audio tour. His father, Theodorus van Gogh, preached at the Van Goghkerkje in Zundert. The Van Goghmonument also stands on Vincent van Goghplein and can be visited free of charge. Van Gogh Galerie Zundert displays and sells works by artists who worked in Zundert as artists-in-residence; admission to the gallery is free. This makes it possible to explore the artist both through his origins and through later artistic works.

Forests, heathland and paths for active days

Oude Buisse Heide is located in the municipality of Zundert between Achtmaal and Schijf. Walks there lead through old forests, along meadows, fields, fen lakes and farms. VRC Zundert also offers a nature-focused discovery: visitors can walk along the bird enclosures in the nature education garden. The Aa of Weerijs was formed by meltwater from the last Ice Age; a cycle path runs along the river. For a holiday apartment in Zundert, this combination of landscapes and different route ideas can be a useful consideration if you want to combine nature experiences with cultural sites.

Walking and cycling with regional character

The 8 km Van Gogh walking route in Zundert passes six Van Gogh monuments and combines exercise with a clear cultural theme. Another 8 km route is the Zundert Trappist walking route. It can still be walked, even though the beer is no longer brewed. The De Kievit Trappist brewery in Zundert closed in September 2025. By bicycle, the Bomenfietsroute leads through forests, heathland and tree nurseries. The different route lengths and landscapes help you organise your planned days around a short cultural route, an extended walk and a cycling tour.

Corso Zundert and the dahlias

Corso Zundert is the world's largest dahlia parade. Every year, on the first Sunday in September, twenty neighbourhoods compete for the honorary title of Corso Zundert. In the run-up to the Corso, dahlias bloom throughout Zundert. During the “Tik weekend” on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before the parade, the “Corsotour” begins. These dates give the town an event character strongly shaped by flowers, competition and community creativity.
