An inviting café where you can press the pause button in between. Burnt sugars can be replenished here. You will certainly find something to your liking among the wide range of small snacks, delicious pastries and drinks. You can relax in the café or on the terrace in all seasons.Historical interpretation:
This building was erected in 1902. Even though this building was not the station building, the history of the building fits remarkably well within the whole of KLINGSPOOR. From 1903 to 1919, a Dutchman lived here who worked as a livestock merchant and innkeeper. The 'Oude Statie' was already a café in the early days. Thirsty rail travelers could go here and it was also a stopping place for smugglers and customs officers. Opening hours

You are literally on the border with the Netherlands, lots of explanations and at the same time a café with Belgian beers... Nostalgic customs place too

Nice café located on the border. In the local area it is known as a cycling café where it can be quite busy especially in the weekend
