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.

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

Otherwise its just flat-cloggy land.

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.
