Meet Oeteldonk (Den Bosch's carnival alter ego)

Step into the rich history and unique culture of 's-Hertogenbosch on this special city walk, where you'll learn all about the village of Oeteldonk. The walk is combined with a visit to the Oeteldonks Gemintemuzejum.

During the walk, you'll pass the city's key landmarks, where your guide, a true Den Bosch local, will tell you all the ins and outs of Oeteldonk. Where is Prins Amadeiro welcomed, and why that particular spot? Who is Boer Knillis, and who are Peer and Hendrien? Where do the colours red, white and yellow come from, and what is the blue farmer's smock all about? Why do people go haringhappen (eating herring the traditional Dutch way) during carnival, or eat stamppot (mashed potatoes with vegetables)?

After the walk, you'll visit the Oeteldonks Gemintemuzejum: the place to discover everything about this famous carnival village and find out that Oeteldonk is about much more than just partying. From historic costumes to traditions, you'll experience the festivities as the people of Den Bosch do, with humour, pride and a sense of togetherness.
