picknick

 

What could be moredelightful than finding a lovely spot in the sun with a picnic hamper filled to the brim that you can enjoy together with family or friends. There are several original spots in the ‘Wijers’ where you can have your picnic:

Kelchterhoef

Kelchterhoef, a wonderful location with breath-taking picnic spots! Why not take a seat on the comforting tree bench or lunch on the water, between the reeds on the picnic island. You will have to wade through the pond to get there. If you’d rather stay dry, choose one of the five colourful plastic sofas or lie down on the grass beside the pond.
Order your richly filled picnic hamper with delicious products in advance. All you need to do is bring good friends and a picnic blanket.
