Hi! I'm Lisa and I would love to share my favourite walk! After a workday, I find it wonderful to take a walk after dinner. This walk is enjoyable in both summer and winter! It's just a slightly different route than the usual one. Stroll through the surroundings of the Zandberg neighbourhood in the south of Breda. Along the way, you'll pass through streets lined with beautiful, stately mansions, charming shopping streets, and of course, greenery.

I live on Baronielaan, so I start my walk there. You can, of course, start at any point along the route!
