Budel is a village in the municipality of Cranendonck, North Brabant, right on the Belgian border. It is historically linked to zinc production, which shaped the local economy. Today, the area is a paradise for nature lovers and cyclists. The Budeler Bergen and Loozerheide nature reserves offer extensive heathlands and forests, crisscrossed by numerous trails. Of cultural interest is the neo-Gothic Church of Our Lady Visitation. Culinarily, the region is known for asparagus. Budel is easily accessible from Eindhoven.
