Fancy a bit of action on the water? You can also canoe in Breda from Spanjaardsgat. The roads with cars are hardly visible. What remains are the beautiful buildings and nature along the water. The route takes you past the Royal Military Academy, the old water tower, Chassé Park and the Seelig barracks. Enjoy Breda from a different perspective from the water! An active and relaxing day all at once! 

Looking for some cooling off on a hot day? Then the Galderse Meren are the place to be. The area is located near the Mastbos and the Galderse Heide and is named after the nearby village of Galder. It was created by sand extraction for the construction of the A16 motorway. Here you can enjoy swimming, diving and even surfing if you'd like. 

Prefer going to the swimming pool? In Breda, there are plenty of nice swimming pools where you can go, even if the weather is less nice. How about, for example, Zwembad Sonsbeeck (with both indoor and outdoor pools) or Zwembad Wolfslaar, or Zwembad de Wisselaar? 

Sunbathing, swimming, surfing, sailing: you can do it all at the Asterdplas. Relax in the grass or on the sand, whichever you prefer. Also nice: many different types of birds can be found in the wet transition area near the lake. Children can have a great time here!

You can also escape to Prinsenbeek for a day of enjoying the beautiful weather. Take a look at the swimming lake De Kuil. The pool has a sunbathing area and a sandy beach. Here you can relax perfectly on a sunny day, even with children.

The nature and recreation area 't Zand is located to the northwest of the village of Alphen and borders the natural areas Chaamse Bossen and Alphense Bergen. The name 't Zand is not coincidental: for centuries there was an extensive sand drift here, as in many places in Brabant. Due to sand extraction, a water pond has been created where you can swim, float or sunbathe to your heart's content. The children can have fun all day in or around the water. Ultimate enjoyment!

Breda is the perfect place to fish with all its water. Fortunately, this is possible in many places! At VISplanner you can see exactly where you can and cannot fish in Breda. For example, you can cast your line in the city, also known as street fishing or urban fishing! 

One thing you will need is a fishing permit. For most waters in Breda, you will need a fishing permit from De Baroniesche Hengelaars. On the website of De Baroniesche Hengelaars you can find the fishing waters of the association and the rules regarding fishing. You can also see which permit you need here.
