In 2014, Eersel was declared a walking municipality in the Netherlands. Today you will travel approximately 4.5 kilometers to discover the attractive village and the greenery.

Although you later pass through a beautiful park, the route is mainly devoted to culture. First you visit Manneke Content, which symbolizes the character of the inhabitants of the Kempen. People used to work hard here, but people didn't complain. They were satisfied with what they had!

Then it's time to continue rolling through Eersel, a village that will surprise you with its charm. Historic houses and cobblestones: the village breathes history and provides an attractive walking setting. Want to catch your breath? This is possible on one of the many pleasant terraces.

In the municipality of Eersel you will find several green areas, including the Wethouder Poeliejoepark. Enjoy the greenery and the rippling water.

The Tour starts at the town hall of Eersel, where you can park. If you take the bus, get off at the Eersel, Kapelweg stop. Please note: the route is difficult to do with a hand-powered wheelchair.

Tip: if you still have time, it is nice to visit the Kempen Museum De Acht Zaligheden.

Manneke Content in Eersel

Highlight • Monument

The statue of the "Contente mens" has become the symbol of the national character in the Kempen. In earlier times, the people of Kempen had to work hard for a meager income.

Despite this hard existence, they did not complain, were content with what they had and accepted life as it came.

The inhabitants of the Kempen still cherish the good things in life and exude great satisfaction.
