There is a coming and going of fun on the relaxing terrace of Groot Speijck nature gate. This is perhaps not too surprising if you know that this very hospitable catering facility is situated in the same beautiful building as the Visitors’ Centre of the Oisterwijk Forests and Fens Nature Reserve, making Groot Speijck the entrance gate for an exploratory trip through beautiful wooded areas and along numerous fens. Come smell and taste the Oisterwijk greenery.

•    The starting point for exploring the countryside;
•    Has been welcoming nature lovers for more than 100 years;
•    Children can climb and scramble around in the OERRR nature playing area.

Since it is the base camp for exploring the countryside, Groot Speijck catering facility attracts mainly nature lovers. And who does not like flopping down on a bench or chair, whether indoors or out? Especially after or during an active day outdoors. If the weather is cooler, find a spot indoors by the fireplace or cuddle up against the warm air wall (!). Of course, if the sun is shining, you would prefer a seat on the charming woodsy terrace, where the kids can climb and mess about in the OERRR nature playing area (a Nature Monuments youth programme). However, the children could also go on a trip to explore nature’s treasures, climb the observation tower or even play ‘underwater’ in a ‘real’ Oisterwijk fen!

Tip for your visit: pour yourself a glass of free fruit water, apply free sunscreen, and be sure to take a cookie for your faithful four-footed friend! The unique building also contains lots of information about the many cycling and hiking paths in the area. And to dress up your day even further, Groot Speijck catering facility is happy to point you in the direction of, for example, the ice cream shop owner in the outskirts of Moergestel. 

Groot Speijck catering facility has been awarded the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award and was even listed recently on the Dutch Misset Horeca’s Top 100 Outdoor Cafés!
