De Loopplank
Enjoy lunch, dinner or a coffee with a view over the Mookerplas. De Loopplank combines a relaxed atmosphere, a spacious terrace by the water and a varied menu in one of the most beautiful spots in North Limburg.
Who is this a real getaway for?
De Loopplank is a lovely spot for walkers, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys relaxing on a terrace with a view. It’s also a cosy stop-off for families, couples and groups of friends after a day out in nature or on the Mookerplas. Fancy a leisurely lunch, dinner or simply a coffee and a slice of cake? You’ll soon feel right at home here.
When will you visit?
In summer, the terrace is a lovely spot to watch boats sail by whilst enjoying the sun and the view over the Mookerplas. It’s also particularly beautiful in autumn, when the forests of the Sint-Jansberg slowly change colour. After a walk or a cycle ride, lunch or dinner here tastes just that little bit better.
What to expect.
Restaurant De Loopplank is situated right on the Mookerplas and has been a well-known meeting place for holidaymakers and local residents for many years. The menu features a wide selection of lunch dishes, fish, meat, vegetarian options, burgers and desserts. The kitchen focuses on familiar classics that appeal to a wide audience. Inside, there’s a warm, relaxed atmosphere, and as soon as the weather permits, the large terrace becomes a favourite spot for many guests.
The view makes a visit extra special. Whilst yachts glide quietly in and out of the harbour, you can look out over the water and the green hills of Sint-Jansberg. Did you know that De Loopplank owes its name to its original location on a barge that used to be accessible only via a gangway? The restaurant has since become a fixture on the Mookerplas, but its connection to the water has always remained.
