Bergeijk ( pronunciation (help·info)) is a municipality and a town in North Brabant Province in the southern Netherlands. It has an area of 103 square kilometers, and a population of 18,027 as of 2005, for a population density of 175 people per square kilometer. It is one of 21 municipalities, including Eindhoven, that make up the Eindhoven Region Cooperative (Samenwerkingsverband Regio Eindhoven). Until 1998 it had the old-fashioned spelling of "Bergeyk". Bergeijk is traditionally an agricultural area, but tourism and recreation are steadily gaining importance; the bungalow park in the village Westerhoven deserves to be mentioned. Bergeijk is known all over the country mainly because of a program on national radio: Radio Bergeijk, a parody on local radio. less
