Hiking

Today a fairytale tour awaits you through the varied nature of Oisterwijk. You can enjoy beautiful forests and idyllic fens for about 3.3 kilometers.

The route starts at the Oisterwijk visitor center, where you can get information about the area and view the corona monument. Then you continue towards Boshuis Venkraai.

Are you not fully awake yet? Then you can have a cup of coffee at this attractive forest house before continuing the route. This is a wonderfully cozy location for a snack and a drink all year round, but if you are going for a high fairytale atmosphere, you should not miss this destination, especially in winter. Please note that the Boshuis is wheelchair accessible, but does not have a wheelchair-friendly toilet.

From the Boshuis you roll towards two extensive fens: the Groot Kolkven and the Voorste Goorven. Gazing over the serene water that gently ripples between the woods, you will completely relax. Between the two fens you will find the geographical center of Oisterwijk!

You can park at the Oisterwijk visitor center. Here you will also find a wheelchair-friendly toilet. If you have a manual wheelchair, it may be nice to have someone with you on the tour today. The tour is difficult to reach by public transport.

Freedom Monument (Covid-19 Memorial), Oisterwijk

Highlight • Monument

The monument is located just in front of the visitor center and in the middle of the beautiful Oisterwijk forests. Still, something to keep in mind.

Boshuis Venkraai

Highlight • Cafe

Boshuis Venkraai is a bit hidden in the forests of Oisterwijk. This nice and authentic forest café is located in an old forester's house. The old-fashioned decor with carpets on the table (!) and the large terrace with play area for the little ones guarantee a few hours of Brabant conviviality!

Kolkven (north side)

Highlight • Lake

This is one of the largest fens in this area. Especially for fishing enthusiasts. Early in the morning you can take the most beautiful photos, the fen is located near the cozy forest house De Venkraai where they have very tasty coffee. You can walk almost around the entire fen, but the paths can be very boggy, so good footwear is recommended in autumn.

Voorste Goorven

Highlight • Lake

Experience the perfect sunrise at Voorste Goorven.
This pond in the Oisterwijk woods is a feast for the eyes with flora and fauna. Flocks of ducks, geese, and other birds all have their own little spot.
