Off to NL with sprogs on holiday next week.. Any suggestions of parks, sights, cycles etc in this area?

Guessing here…

Eindhoven has a top flight football club – PSV; stadium tours may be available. Summer so no matches at the mo.

Eindhoven & Nijmegen both targets for Operation Market Garden (A Bridge Too Far) so there may be some WWII memorabilia

The Hoge Veluwe and Veluwezoom National Parks:

Oodles and oodles of cycle paths, deer, big hairy cows, modern art museum. Spent three or four days there last year, really enjoyed it.

Kids love it

Philips use to have a future-park in Eindhoven, not sure if its still there.

Otherwise its just flat-cloggy land.

Thanks. The future park sounds cool…

Delft was nice, no idea if its in your target area though.

thanks all. stupid question but anywhere hilly nearby in Germany?

The nearest hills will be in the Eifel (Monschau – Aachen ) area of Germany.

In Holland hills are niet toegestaan.

The future park presumably is the Evoluon – http://www.evoluon.com/

It’s no longer a ‘museum’ but still quite spectacular from the outside and possibly still accessible.
