Water tower 's-Hertogenbosch

Highlight • Monument

The water tower is a national monument from 1885 and has stored water until 1975. Due to the threat of a cholera epidemic, the city council decided to build a drinking water pipeline, which also included a water tower. J. Kalff is the architect of the 33 meter high, rectangular tower.

View of Vlijmens Ven

Highlight • Viewpoint

The route prescribes that you have to turn right onto the cycle path here.
Don't do that... go straight onto the sandy path and walk parallel to the route. Much nicer than the cycle path, I think.

Pettelaar Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

Petterlaarse schans or Fort Saint Michèl was built in 1623, after Maurits van Oranje in 1603 and 1622 tried to take the city. With every attack, the Bosschenaren flooded the marsh around the city. With both attacks Maurits occupied a height south of the city. The Bosschenaren saw the importance of this height. After Maurits was defeated, the Bosschenaren built the Pettelaarse Schans at this height in 1623. A restaurant is located in the middle of the ramp. There are also regular large events such as the Liberation Festival Brabant and the Citymoves Festival.

The Bossche Broek is a nature reserve of 202 ha southeast of 's-Hertogenbosch in the valley of the Dommel. What is special is that the nature reserve is close to the center of the city. Various walking and cycling routes are possible in the area with the skyline of Den Bosch in sight.

The Iron Woman

Highlight • Lake

A great park to go running. It’s got playgrounds, a petting zoo and is easy going. Parking your car is a bit of a problem seeing it’s mostly permit parking.
