A trip to the ‘Fortress City on the Biesbosch’ would only be complete with a visit to the nicest and smallest café on the historic market square of Geertruidenberg. ‘Such a crazy little place in a unique location,’ reads the digital guestbook of this ‘fietscafé’, a café located within a kilometre of the cycle network. In addition to the many cyclists, this hip urban café is also popular with hikers and tourists. Guests to the 800-year old city marvel at the surviving moats, bastions and ravelins. Guests can combine a boat trip or a hike through the unique Biesbosch area with a fine lunch or drink on the sun-drenched terrace at this hip urban café.

Culinary enjoyment
De Paap is the perfect place to relax or to sun yourself on the extensive terrace overlooking the market square. Enjoyment comes first here, as you can tell from the menu, full of craft drinks boards, unique speciality beers and fabulous wines. Enjoy the craftsmanship of Walraven Sax (one of the oldest distributors of wine and spirits on the Dutch market) or sample something from the frequently-changing speciality beer menu. The generously stocked drinks boards contain everything from homemade garlic toast to local meats and unique cheeses.
Geertruidenberg and surroundings
Park your bicycle in the public cycle pike on the Markt and settle down to rest after your trip. Geertruidenberg is located not only at the mouth of the river Donge, but also on the most famous freshwater tidal area in the Netherlands – De Biesbosch National Park. The centre of this fortified town is home to a wealth of beautiful historical buildings so that you can imagine how things might have been centuries ago. And if you’re eager to learn all there is to know about the oldest city in historical County Holland, visit Museum De Roos.
Once you’ve done that, you can let all of those impressions sink in while you relax at De Paap, Geertruidenberg’s cosiest urban café.
