The informal atmosphere and simple drinks and dishes makes everyone feel welcome. A menu speciality is an uitsmijter, fried eggs and ham served on slices of bread: don’t expect a lot of ceremony. A tosti, a grilled cheese sandwich, consists simply of two slices of standard bread with a slice of ham and/or cheese between them! In the pub you can enjoy a delicious breakfast, an invigorating lunch or a refreshing drink at a normal price. Naturally, the large sunny terrace is very much in demand in the summer!
In addition to being an ideal stopping place along the La Trappe (great beers en route!) and Loon and Drunen Dunes themed cycling routes, Natuurpoort van Loon is also a riding school and an inn. With 70 horses, there are extensive possibilities for riding. The opportunities for overnight stays are varied as well: this Brabant inn offers various basic cabins, hotels rooms, holiday houses and a group accommodation. Let’s be honest: one day simply will not be enough!
Tip: if you didn't bring your bike, it’s not a problem!
You can choose from various cycling paths along or through the beautiful nature reserve. However, if you are in the area without your steed of steel, Natuurpoort van Loon, in collaboration with Recreatief Loon op Zand, has various bicycles for rent, which means that everyone is free to go out and enjoy themselves.
Brabant Bicycle Café
Natuurpoort van Loon is an official Brabants Fietscafé; a Brabant Bicycle Café. In these bicycle cafés, cyclists are made to feel especially welcome! You can stop by for a delicious bite to eat or a refreshing drink, and make use of facilities such as a repair kit, bicycle pump and e-bike charging station.
