See why Oisterwijk meets the forest

Children may remember only the little train and its bell. The value of PAREL Express is the guide who connects everything outside the window into one local story. On 2 August, two summer rides leave the Oude Raadhuis, pass through historic Oisterwijk and continue into its forest-and-fen landscape. The route lasts about two hours and includes a 20-minute break for stretching and toilets. Tickets cost €3.50. It offers families with young children, older relatives or limited walking range a low-effort introduction to the area. The vehicle is not a sealed coach, so consider weather, seating and boarding comfort, and arrive at the meeting point early.
