Mastbos Breda: The oldest forest plantation in the Netherlands

The Mastbos (570 ha) is located south of Breda on the edge of the city, past the A16, near the Ruitersbos district in Breda South. It is the best known and busiest forest in Breda and is known nationally. It owes its name to the many coarse pines that used to be called 'mast trees'. Among other things, ship's masts were made.
