Forest park 't Wolfsven

Geldrop Castle is about 3 kilometres from the park and offers a delightful combination of culture and nature. It is a medieval castle with historic rooms, changing exhibitions and an English-style garden outside. Stroll along the flower beds, visit the petting zoo and sharpen your senses in the sensory garden. Take your bike or make a short drive and discover one of the most beautiful historic sites in the Mierlo area.

Eindhoven is just 9 kilometres from the park and is the city for lovers of design, culture and modern architecture. Start your visit at Strijp-S, the former Philips site that has been transformed into a creative hotspot full of shops, studios, restaurants and events. Walk among industrial buildings and discover why Eindhoven is known as a city of design. Then visit the Van Abbemuseum, one of Europe’s most important museums of modern and contemporary art. The collection includes works by international artists and changing exhibitions. End your day in Eindhoven’s cosy city centre, where you can enjoy dinner, a terrace or an evening of shopping.

About 8 kilometres from the park is the Prehistoric Village in Eindhoven, a lively open-air museum where history comes to life. Here, you walk through different eras, from prehistory to the late Middle Ages. Along the way, you will meet historical residents in authentic clothing who show how people used to live, work and survive. Try ancient crafts yourself, such as making fire, archery or pottery, and discover what daily life looked like centuries ago. Thanks to its interactive approach, the museum is not only educational but also great fun for children. Feel free to set aside half a day for your visit, as there is plenty to experience and discover.
