Starting point | Nature Gate Café BOS & Co. - Oosterhout

BOS & Co is a cosy catering establishment on the edge of the Boswachterij Dorst nature reserve. Here you will enjoy good food and drink and Brabant hospitality. It is the perfect place to start various outdoor activities, such as hiking or cycling.

The building where BOS & Co now stands used to be known as 't Hansortje, a farm with a café run by the Hansort family. Many people still remember the café from before, when the old road to Breda ran past the location and people would stop here for a 'bèkske koffie' (cup of coffee in Brabant dialect) or a 'pilske' (a beer in Brabant dialect).

BOS & Co is one of Brabant's Nature Gates, which means it is an ideal starting point for a trip through the neighbouring nature reserve - in this case Boswachterij Dorst. This forest is characterised by coarse pines planted at the beginning of the 19th century on the Seterse Heide, sand drifts and small fens. Galloway cattle graze in the area, so you might just bump into them along the way!
