Horse-friendly cafés

Back

If you have planned a long tour on horseback, a break is very welcome. Make sure you stop at a horse-friendly café. Waiter, a bucket of cold water please!

A horse-friendly café?

What is that? Are the horses propping up the bar? A café is horse-friendly if it is easy to reach on horseback. First and foremost, of course, the café must be near the bridle path. It must also be safe to reach without having to cross busy roads or similar. You must be able to “park” your horse safely in a paddock or at a hitching rail near the terrace so that your horse is always within sight.

Where can you find a café like this?

The addresses of all the horse-friendly cafés can be found on the map or in the list below, so you can decide where you want to stop for a drink. The café itself will have a sign on its façade so you can't miss it.

Ballasthoeve

PELT (OVERPELT)
The Ballasthoeve is an old 'brown' decorated pub with two garden terraces and a playground for the little ones. You can enjoy a delicious Belgian beer and/or coffee with Limburgian flan. It is located in the Limburg Kempen, synonymous with lots of forest, green and nature. You can also spend the night in the group accommodation, the cottage or on the mini camping.

The Ballasthoeve is a proud Host of Bosland!

As a Host of Bosland I am part of a network of entrepreneurs who inform visitors and guests about Bosland: the largest adventure forest of Flanders. This gigantic nature reserve of 5137 ha in Northern Limburg stretches over the municipalities Hechtel-Eksel, Pelt, Peer and Lommel and consists mainly of forests, heathland, grasslands and brook valleys.

Bosland preserves and develops its beautiful and qualitative nature, but also opens it as much as possible to the general public. Sustainable development is a priority: Bosland creates dynamism from green. Would you like more information about all that there is to experience? I am happy to help.
