Unique nature reserve
Riders, hikers, cyclists and mountain bikers love to use the many marked routes. The beautifully situated forest café is therefore the more than ideal base to explore the unique Oisterwijkse Bossen en Vennen . Dating from the late ice age, the fens are home to special water plants and breeding or resting place of various birds such as the grebe, cormorant, tufted duck and teal. Every season in this nature reserve is special and completely different. For example, in autumn you can go on a mushroom safari, while in spring you can enjoy the beautifully budding nature. Who knows, you might even spot a young roe deer!

Honest cuisine
The fresh dishes on Boshuis Venkraai 's small menu have a clear link to grandmother's time. During the winter months, enjoy pea soup with Brabant rye bread and bacon in the middle of the woods, get a tasty and homemade meatball from the gravy or order the 'Boswachters Panneke': a delicious hot snack with farmhouse bread. The café is also available for parties and meetings. Inquire with the multilingual staff (German and English).

By bike, on foot or on horseback?
With a parking lot at about 400 meters, Venkraai is also easy to reach by car. In addition, Oisterwijk station is less than five kilometers away, so you can reach this beautiful location in many ways. You can even park your horse close to the terrace...
