Drinks & Nightlife

The surroundings of Boerderij De Zalm We are happy to share our tips and hidden gems with you when you stay at our place. A sneak preview: Our village Schalkwijk attracts creative entrepreneurs of all different kinds. Therefore, we are lucky to have restaurant “de Ram” (www.jonkheer-deram.nl) where the chef cook really knows how to surprise his guests with new creations. That’s why the menu offers other dishes than the usual restaurants. By the way, the building itself is from 1788, which will be an eye-candy during your whole meal anyway. And beer lovers will enjoy the choice of 20 different sorts. At the village Schalkwijk, snack-bar “de Linie” offers you the typical Dutch “French Fries” o

Sightseeing

Hiking and canoeing: “Het verdronken bos van Schalkwijk” (the drowned forest): A very special place nearby where you instinctively tend to slow down and get back to your senses. Rough beauty meets serenity meets mystery. “het Eiland van Schalkwijk en het Elpad” (the island of Schalkwijk and the El-path): a wooden path leads through a silent natural area that combines wood and water. Many people enjoy the hike as a little getaway from daily life and usual stress. Spectacular silence, except the soothing sounds of nature. And you might see an kingfisher flying along as they live there. More suggestions for hiking routes at our surroundings: http://klompenpaden.nl/klompenpad/lint-en-liniepad/
