Boshuisje Schaijk
The area

Forest, heath and bison.

The cabin sits on the edge of the Maashorst nature reserve — the largest continuous nature area of the province. Walking, cycling, villages and good coffee: these are our favourites.

Schaijk, on the edge of the Maashorst.

The cabin is a ten-minute walk from the Maashorst nature reserve — 3,500 hectares of forest, heath and European bison. From here you walk straight into the silence.

A twenty-minute cycle brings you to the culture of Oss and Ravenstein; the village café serves a proper Dutch uitsmijter on its terrace. In the morning, walk to the bakery in Schaijk for fresh sausage rolls.

The silence here is so thick you can almost hold it.— from the guest book

Fresh Brabant sausage rolls in the morning — the walk there doubles as your breakfast stroll.

A twenty-minute cycle: museums, terraces and the little fortified town of Ravenstein on the river Meuse.

Old-fashioned Dutch fried-egg sandwiches and a fine terrace. Within walking distance of the cabin.
