Restaurant de Boschwachter
Dining, lunch, hiking or biking in the Heezerbosch?
The characteristic long-gabled farmhouse hides a particularly atmospheric café-restaurant. A perfect base or mooring for a lovely walk or bike ride through the Groote Heide or the Leenderbos. The terrace provides a sunny and relaxed atmosphere with a refreshing beer or wine when the weather is nice. Or warm yourself in the winter by the cozy fireplace.

Haviksoord Golf Club
Since its inception in 1975, Haviksoord has been different in many ways. Membership is available to any practitioner of golf. People came and come there for the sport of golf. Haviksoord has no starting times for its members. The golf course is in good condition, with extra attention paid to the greens. There is a cozy compact clubhouse where one can go for a snack and a drink.
The course and the players' "feeling at home" are the main issues for the Golf Club. Guest players are welcome. Current green fee prices can be found on the website and for reservations please call 040 2061818.

Leende has the Leenderbos; Heeze has the Strabrechtse Heide. Together two immense nature reserves to roam around endlessly.
The Leenderbos is about 2400 hectares and consists largely of conifers, heathland, fens, drifting sand, winding paths and stream valleys. The Strabrechtse Heide, with 1850 hectares, is the largest contiguous heathland area in North Brabant. A vast plain of heather, juniper berries and fens.
