The “In den Bockenreyder” inn is uniquely situated on the “De Utrecht” estate, near the “de Flaes” and “’t Goor” ponds. The densely wooded surroundings are ideal for cycling, hiking, or horseback riding if you bring your own horse. In this cozy pub, which features a large terrace and a fireplace, sand is still traditionally scattered on the floor.
The name “In den Bockenreyder” has its roots in a piece of this region’s history. The Bokkenrijders were, more or less, malevolent ghostly figures who, in times long past, rode across the heath at night on a goat, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Because the Bokkenrijders struck in various locations far apart from one another and moved at tremendous speed, people believed it was the work of the devil, who gave this gang the power to travel through the air on goats. Many facts surrounding the Bokkenrijders remain unclear to this day.
