If all your party is able, don’t miss the chance to cycle along the Van Gough-Roosegaarde bicycle path. Daan Roosegaarde created the 600-metre-long cycle path as an ode to Vincent Van Gough.  

Laid with thousands of twinkling coloured stones, the path comes to life when darkness descends, displaying parts of Van Gough’s iconic Starry Night in winding illumination. The unique cycle path runs between Opwettense Watermolen and Collse Watermolen, two watermills which Van Gough painted during his life.
