Walk through Nuenen from Van Gogh National Park

The first walk from Van Gogh National Park passes through Nuenen. Through a landscape with winding paths, flowing streams, with beautiful village views and vistas of the typical Brabant scenery. Here Vincent found inspiration from nature and the ordinary Brabander. This is reflected in his paintings. Vincent longed for this throughout his life.
