Holiday Park; Romantic; Among nature
Whether you're seeking an active getaway or simply want to immerse yourself in nature, the Veluwe region offers something for everyone!
Right next to the holiday park, you'll find the expansive Ermelosche Heide and the ancient Sprielderbos, known for its "dancing trees." Just a short distance from the park is the charming Landgoed Staverden, which was officially declared the smallest city in the Benelux in 2012. Some even claim it could be the smallest city in the world, with only 52 residents. Here, you can take a peaceful walk through the woods and stop by the Brasserie, where you can enjoy a drink and snack while taking in the scenic views of the castle and its gardens.
The area also boasts three amusement parks within a 20 km radius. The closest is Dolfinarium in Harderwijk (12 km), a must-visit experience for many. Just under 20 km away, you can explore Koningin Julianatoren, an amusement park with over 60 thrilling rides, spectacular shows, and large events – perfect for an unforgettable day out. For those seeking an adrenaline rush, Walibi Holland (25 km) is a must-see. This park offers intense thrill rides that push your limits, with towering heights, dangerous drops, and spiraling corkscrews that not only turn your world upside down but also challenge you to face your deepest fears.
In the heart of the Veluwe, amidst nature, you'll find the Garderen climbing forest (7.5 km). Thanks to a unique safety system that keeps you securely harnessed, this is considered the safest climbing forest in the Netherlands.
Also worth visiting is the historic "Boshuis Drie," a Veluwe farm from 1765, located in the oldest continuous forest in the Netherlands. For swimming and water sports enthusiasts, the nearby Horst Beach is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the water.
