Sint Anthonis
Spend half a day: walk the Staatsboswachterij forest, have coffee at De 3 Burgemeesters, then return – no overnight needed.
Sint Anthonis is a small Peel‑Region town; its main draw is the nearby Staatsboswachterij nature reserve and a handful of local cafés. One afternoon is enough to enjoy the forest trails and a meal, then head back to a larger base such as Eindhoven or 's‑Hertogenbosch.
