Just minutes from the park, the peaceful village offers a relaxed contrast with its cozy center, traditional Brabant cafés serving fresh apple pie and local beers, and easy access to the vast Loonse en Drunense Duinen National Park—one of the largest drifting sand areas in Europe—with scenic hiking and cycling trails through dunes, forests, and heathlands.

Savor hearty Brabant beef stew, creamy Bossche bollen cream puffs, fresh stroopwafels, and crisp local beers amid fairy-tale music drifting from the park, gentle dune breezes, and the unmistakable joy of a town that feels like a living storybook.
