  • Small farm site within a North Brabant social enterprise in Westerbeek
  • A 10-minute drive to Overloon; 25 minutes to Grave
  • Vineyard on site with wine-tasting sessions
The word Verbindingsboerderij in the name of this site mean’s ‘connection farm’ – and that’s a suitable title indeed, because Verbindingsboerderij de Koolberg aims to create a peaceful rural space where guests and locals can come together to connect with each other and connect with nature at the same time. This farm in the North Brabant countryside is gradually being developed into a place where children and adults with various special needs can gain hands-on experience with farm activities and hospitality work. The learning experience is expanded to guests as well, who will be able to stop by at the farm’s rapidly growing vineyard for wine tasting workshops. Coming to stay here isn’t all about supporting a social enterprise, however – the location on the edge of the village of Westerbeek also makes a great base for exploring the local area, perhaps taking walks in the Maasduinen National Park, visiting the watersports paradise Kraaijenbergse Plassen or seeking out the various historic sites around the Cuijk area, covering everything from the Romans up to World War II and beyond. In keeping with its sustainable ethos and focus on community and nature, the pitches at this small site are simple in style but with plenty of space for guests to set up their kit and relax in the open air. Toilets, showers and a washing-up area are provided, along with handy extras such as a wifi service and chemical disposal. Barbecues and campfires are permitted for cooking your meals; nearby Overloon (10 minutes’ drive) has shops for all the necessaries.

Local attractions

Getting out to see some of this fabulous area might involve walks or bike rides through the UNESCO-listed Maasheggen biosphere reserve (15 minutes’ drive) – the oldest cultivated landscape in the Netherlands – or the Maasduinen National Park (half an hour), a fascinating mix of shifting sands, forests and heathland. More time in the open air? Take walks through the Sint Anthonisbos forests (10 minutes), meet exotic beasts at ZooParc Overloon (five minutes) or get ready for watersports like canoeing and sailing at Kraaijenbergse Plassen (25 minutes). Meanwhile, if you like surprises, take a stroll through Saint Oda Park (15 minutes), where various bits of spooky art lurk in the trees and undergrowth. This area played a major role in World War II, and you can learn a bit about that at the Overloon War Museum (10 minutes). For more tasters of local history, Museum Klok & Peel (35 minutes) shows how the region has changed over several million years, and you can spend some time wandering around the fortified city of Grave (25 minutes), perhaps taking a bike ride out into the surroundings as well.
