Valkenswaard is a place for bon vivants, for nature lovers and culture sniffers, for fun shoppers and culinary gourmets, for strollers and sports enthusiasts. There is also plenty to do for the little ones. Valkenswaard has a surprisingly versatile level of facilities, socially, culturally, sportingly and recreationally. The municipality has more than 30,000 inhabitants and forms, with the village centres Valkenswaard, Dommelen, Borkel en Schaft, a Burgundian municipality in the heart of nature park De Groote Heide, on the Dutch/Belgian border.
