Explore the cycle network of North West Brabant
The North West Brabant – Bergen op Zoom, Roosendaal, Breda map, published by ANWB, allows you to discover one of the most pleasant regions in the Netherlands for cycle touring. Designed to accompany cyclists on their daily commutes as well as their longer cycling trips, it is based on the renowned Dutch network of numbered cycle junctions ("knooppunten").
In this region in the southwest of the Netherlands, the landscape alternates between polders, dikes, canals, and verdant countryside. Thanks to this detailed map, it becomes easy to create your own cycle route by connecting the various points of the network. The principle is simple: before setting off, simply note the numbers of the junctions you wish to follow. On the ground, signs indicate these numbers and guide cyclists from point to point.
The map covers the cities and surrounding areas of Bergen op Zoom, Roosendaal, and Breda, popular destinations known for their historical heritage and accessible cycling routes. Local roads, cycle links, and bike-friendly paths are clearly depicted, providing a comprehensive overview of the network.
At a scale of 1:100,000, this map offers an excellent balance between readability and level of detail. Each centimeter represents approximately one kilometer on the ground, making it easy to locate roads, towns, and points of interest while maintaining a broad perspective of the area.
The map also includes the LF-routes (Landelijke Fietsroutes), the major national cycle routes of the Netherlands. These long-distance routes connect different regions of the country and can be combined with the junction network to create a variety of itineraries.
Beyond simply showing the routes, the map also offers useful tourist information for cyclists: museums, restaurants, campsites, and other points of interest. This information makes it easy to plan a break, a visit, or a stopover during a day trip or a cycling tour.
Practical and lightweight, this folded paper map slips easily into a pannier or jersey pocket. It's a simple and reliable tool for planning and following routes without relying on a digital device. It's part of a collection of 28 ANWB cycle junction maps covering the entire Netherlands, each dedicated to a specific region.
Whether you're a leisurely cyclist, an experienced cycle tourist, or a traveler looking to discover the Netherlands by bike, this map is a handy resource for exploring the cycle network of North West Brabant and fully enjoying its scenery.
