Green Café hiking event from Boxtel to Best (NS wandeling)

Join us for a chill hike through beautiful nature from Boxtel to Best and meet some awesome people along the way!
About this Event

We invite you to the next event in our series of Green Cafe hiking/walking events.

This time, we will try together an “NS wandeling” (NS walk). What is that? It is a walk from station to station, with the route organized by Wandelnet and NS. Which means we can travel all together by train from Eindhoven Centraal, in a sustainable way. And that way we can discover the broader region surrounding Eindhoven. For our first time, we will go from Boxtel to Best following the route called “Hart van het Groene Woud”https://www.wandelnet.nl/wandelroute/1086/Hart-van-het-Groene-Woud

Train to Boxtel, walking route from Boxtel to Best, and train back to Eindhoven.

After leaving Boxtel, passing the Lennishuevel, we will immediately walk along a brook, through quiet forests and estates, where we can unwind completely. With a bit of luck, we might even come face to face with a red deer in the De Scheeken nature reserve. But even without such a 'wild' encounter, this walk should be very nice.

Along the way, we will also explore a little of the geology behind the landscape and share a few interesting facts about the local flora and fauna.

Whether you have attended previous Green Café events and would like to keep engaging and build a community, or you are a first-timer looking to connect with like-minded people and get to know the Noord-Brabant region better, this walk is for everyone, so feel free to invite some friends!

This walk will be group-guided (let’s discover it together!), with Zarina and Chloe as supporting members of the Green Café Hiking team.

Practicalities:

• Gathering place and time: Eindhoven Train station, side Bus Station, in front of Lucifer Coffee Roasters at 9:45. We will get together onto the train, thus be on time! We aim to take the 10.05 train.
• Train travel: please be prepared to pay for your train ticket (Sprinter Eindhoven-Boxtel 16 min, 5.80 euros, and Sprinter Best-Eindhoven 10 min, 3.50 euros, trains run every 15min)
• Estimated return in Eindhoven around 15.00
• Clothing: Please wear long pants and long sleeves (due to nettles and ticks), bring good walking shoes and a rain jacket if needed. The walk will not be cancelled even if it’s raining.
• Dogs: please note that dogs are not allowed in parts of the walk that take us in the nature reserve.
• Food: We will take a small break to have lunch, so besides your own food and drinks, please bring some healthy snacks to share with the rest.
