Oss, Geffen, Macharen

Oss is not only a beautiful historic centre, it is the perfect base to taste the local flavours. During this cycling route, you taste all the goodies produced in Oss and surroundings.

Oss lies on the edge of the unique nature reserve De Maashorst. An enchanting landscape full of dark coniferous forests, purple heath, marshy pools and fens. Large grazers also graze here, such as the Wisent, Tauros and Exmoor pony.

De Maashorst is also known for its cherry cultivation. The farmers in De Maashorst have been growing the Udense sweet cherry for decades. Other cherry varieties, such as the Hedelfinger cherry, the Inspecteur Löhnis, the Early Rivers, the Mierlose black cherry and the Varik black cherry are also widely grown in this area.

Freshly picked mushrooms at Het Paddenstoelenhuis, a special Maashorst Sausage Roll at a local bakery or fresh dairy and meat from Spierings farm… You taste it all today. Of course, you complete your Burgundian experience with a special beer from the Specialty Beer Brewery in Oijen.
