"It's great"
On certain days (or for groups of 20 or more), the 'Ouwe Dirk' is renamed the 'Pannenkoekenboot' (Pancake boat), and you can enjoy as many pancakes as you like while taking on the role of the captain's assistant, it's a fantastic outing for the whole family! Instructions to captains are available in Dutch, German or English. The embarkation point is a four-minute walk from the central station, making it easily accessible with public transport and from the car park at the station. It's the perfect way to enjoy a unique 's-Hertogenbosch experience or, as a former guest put it, "You see a completely different city from the water. It's great."
's-Hertogenbosch and surroundings
A few minutes' walk from the embarkation point is the Gothic St. John's Cathedral, Jheronimus Bosch Art Center, numerous catering establishments, a shopping area and pleasant city centre. Why not combine a boat trip from Wolthuis with some culture or a relaxed stroll around 's-Hertogenbosch. Longer boat trips are available, including the Heusden day trip — a day trip along the Maas with a visit to the old fortified city of Heusden aan de Maas. All day trips can be booked as a package, so you can round off a day of discovery with dinner at De Eeterij in 's-Hertogenbosch.
