Eersel: Kempen Village with the Oldest Linden Tree in Brabant
Eersel has about 18,185 residents and lies in the Kempen region of North Brabant south of Eindhoven. The village is known for its Markt square, which features one of the oldest linden trees in the Netherlands, estimated at several hundred years old. The Markt, with its surrounding cafes and the Sint-Willibrorduskerk, forms a well-preserved Brabant village centre. Eersel was awarded the title of prettiest village in Brabant in past editions of provincial competitions.
The surrounding Kempen landscape consists of sandy soils, heathlands, and pine forests. The Eerselsche Heide and Malpie nature areas provide walking and cycling routes. The municipality includes smaller villages such as Duizel, Steensel, and Vessem. Agriculture and tourism are locally important, while many residents commute to Eindhoven's technology corridor for work.
Eindhoven is about 15 kilometres north. Valkenswaard lies roughly 10 kilometres east. The Belgian border is approximately 15 kilometres south.
