Paddling near Tilburg, North Brabant

Tilburg sits in the heart of North Brabant, a province threaded with canals, slow-moving rivers, and nature reserves that suit relaxed paddling. The Wilhelminakanaal runs through the city itself, while the meandering Reusel to the south and the vast Biesbosch National Park are the area's standout paddling destinations.
