Moby Dick - Groene Camino location

In the waters around Breda you can find a rich flora and fauna. But in 1981, a little seal visiting the city was a big surprise. A rowboat in the Mark became its resting place. 
With much attention from the neighbors, he was named ‘Moby Dick’. Unfortunately, seals do not have a future in freshwater. Therefore, he was captured and transferred to the seal nursery in Pieterburen. Later, he was released into the Wadden Sea. 

Breda resident Piet van den Broek created a statue of Moby Dick.

 This location is part of the Groene Camino, a nature and cultural-historical walk through Breda. The walk is 26 km long and runs from the Heilige Eik in Den Hout through the centre of Breda to the Sint Jacobskapel in Galder.
