Veldhoven: Walking Trails, History and Zoo

In Veldhoven, you’ll find several options to consider for your stay: walking trails, cycling connections, historic routes and specific places to visit. Would you like to compare trail lengths and starting points, focus on historical themes, or visit a place with a specific offering for children? These options have different focuses and give you various starting points for planning.

Trails and connections

The Groenblauwe zone offers several walking trails that connect to Veldhoven’s walking trail network. Cyclists can use connections between the surrounding districts there. So, on foot, there are several trails connected to the network to consider; for cycling, the connections between districts are the specific point of reference. When choosing an activity, you can use these different options as a starting point and decide whether walking or cycling better suits your plans. An IVN monument route also passes through Veldhoven, adding a historical focus.

Routes and historical themes

The Molenvelden walking route is 3 kilometres long. It starts either opposite the entrance to Molenvelden holiday park or at Le Sable restaurant, and can be walked in either direction. When planning your route, you can take the three-kilometre distance into account; you can choose the starting point and direction separately. This gives you two named starting points, and you can take the route in whichever direction best suits your plans.

The historic route through Veldhoven-Dorp is about 3 kilometres long and connects 24 historical themes from the history of Veldhoven-Dorp. The distances are therefore similar, but the routes have different focuses: Veldhoven-Dorp connects a specific number of themes with a historical context, while Molenvelden has named starting points and walking directions. If you’re particularly interested in local history, the route through Veldhoven-Dorp offers a clear thematic framework. The IVN monument route also passes through Veldhoven, adding another connection to monuments.

Places to visit with special offerings

At Zoo Veldhoven, there is a covered area called Bamboe Jungle. Children can play there while birds fly above their heads. This means that, alongside the routes, the selection also includes a place to visit with a specific offering for children. Facilities may change; check the latest visitor information before your visit if this area is important to your plans.

Kinderboerderij De Hazewinkel is accessible to wheelchair users and has paved paths. If you use a wheelchair, you can include this specific place to visit in your plans. The combination of its stated accessibility and paved paths provides a practical point of reference for visiting this place.

Consider which of these activities are important for your stay before comparing hotel offers.
