Hiking in Etten-Leur

If you want to learn all about Vincent van Gogh in Etten-Leur, book a guided walk (groups of 6 people or more). The walk always includes a visit to the Van Gogh Church. The program is put together in consultation and lasts an average of 60 to 90 minutes. A city walk is always a delightful activity. In spring, summer, autumn and winter.

A guided walk is a great alternative to the Van Gogh city walk 'De Ettense Mijl'. Unfortunately, the printed version is currently completely sold out. We expect a new edition in the course of 2023. The 'old' city walk can be viewed (and printed or downloaded) digitally here.

The walk starts at the old "Kosterswoning" (now tourist information point) at Market 4. You will visit the Inner Garden. This is the location where the Van Gogh family lived for seven years. Right on the spot where Vincent's very first studio stood now stands a beautiful statue by the hand of artist Hein Vree, surrounded by beautiful flowers in spring, summer and autumn. An audio column tells you the story of the place (NL/EN). Through the monumental cemetery (nowadays a 'silence place') you walk towards the large Van Gogh portrait wall and across the old Market Square towards the picturesque Sint Paulushofje. Here, if desired, a visit to the museum can be made (notify in advance when booking).
