Alphen-Chaam is a charming and peaceful town located in the Netherlands. This municipality of just over 10,000 inhabitants is a candidate to be a real jewel within the landscape of the Netherlands and Europe as a whole.

Alphen-Chaam promotes a series of events throughout the year that aim to engage the local community and tourists in the enhancement of the municipality's cultural-historical and natural resources. These include the Ecotrail in The Four Rivers Park, the Chaam Arts Festival, and the annual Festival of Trees. The area surrounding Alphen-Chaam offers a diverse mix of forests, waterways, and open fields. Visitors can explore the area through a number of hiking and biking trails.
