Outdoor enthusiasts are in the right place at Bij ons ‘Niek! Our studio’s borders the countryside of the beautiful Sint-Michielsgestel. Nearby is the Meerse Plas where you can take a nice walk.

Have a stroll

Fancy a bit of a walk? A ‘having a stroll’ here means a walk of about 25 minutes.

Around Molenstraat

Turn right, out of the gate (you can also turn left, of course). Take the first road to the left. This is the Grote Molenstraat. Follow this until you can turn left to the Donksestraat.

Around Keerdijk

Turn right, out of the gate and follow the Donksestraat until you can turn right to the Keerdijk. Turn right at the end and follow the Bosscheweg until you reach the Korte Donksestraat again.

You can find longer walking routes in the area here:

The Essche stroom

Enjoy the forests, sandy paths, country roads and the beautiful river basin of the Essche Stroom and the Dommel.

The rododendronpad

Also special is the rhododendron path between Sint-Michielsgestel and Boxtel, especially in May and June when the rhododendron bushes are in bloom.

Bon Camino Brabant

This pilgrimage walking and cycling tour is almost 300 km long and passes through ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Eindhoven, Tilburg and Breda (actually through the whole of North Brabant!). You can follow the red Camino signs or put the GPX files on your GPS. You can also just walk (or cycle) the part from Den Bosch to Nuland; this is 22.1 km and passes almost by Bij ons ‘Niek.

Hertogpad

The Hertogenpad runs through the most beautiful natural areas of Brabant, including the Dorst, the Loonse and Drunense Dunes, Maashorst, the Groote Peel and the Leudal. Stage 5 ends nearby.

The Dommel

This beautiful and watery route starts in the centre of Sint Michielsgestel. From there you walk a large part along the Dommel to the hamlet of Halder.

OLAT hike

Who knows better where the most beautiful spots in the area can be found than the local walking club? They have mapped out walks between ten and sixty kilometers. They all start and finish at the Eetcafé Keesje in the neighborhood.
