Herberg Boschoord (closed)

Highlight • Cafe

This place is best reached on foot or by bicycle. It is a lovely spot in the woods, next to the golf course, to enjoy a drink and something to go with it. I really liked the apple pie here.

October 20, 2024,Enjoying autumn colors in the forests south of Hilversum

Lovely walk in the forest area wedged between Lage Vuursche and Hilversum. It is a beautiful but also busy area - especially on Sundays - with MTB-ers, gravel bikers, horse riders and hikers. Fortunately, you walk partly on small narrow paths and these are not busy at all. The area (Pijnenburg-Hoge-Erf) is absolutely top with an insane amount of ferns …

After the departure of another nice Friends-On-the-Bicycle guest, we quickly took a walk, just past Hilversum.

A short walk in the area, to be home in time for the denouement of the Eredivisie and the F1 in Italy.

And so the day became a party! At least for us 😉

Beautifull hike, where I would definitely recomment the first part of the hike. Personally I thought the second part (Pijnenburg-Hoge Erf) wasn't really that interesting.

Good company (almost 40 years of friendship) + lovely Sunday sun + delicious coffee + delicious food = valuable
