Outdoor swimming pool

  • Spacious Gelderland site with access into Ermelosche Heide forest
  • Walibi Holland and Apeldoorn attractions within a half-hour drive
  • Indoor and outdoor pools, sauna, restaurant and kids' activities
Time to unwind? How about a spacious site in a nature reserve, where you can get straight out onto walking and bike trails and explore to your heart’s content before coming home to cool off with a swim? If all that sounds promising, then take a look at Recreatiepark de Paalberg, a Gelderland site surrounded by the forests of the Veluwe. From here you can stroll straight out into nearly a thousand acres of the Ermelosche Heide forest, following hiking trails of various lengths or finding bike trails to take you out through the forest and across the heaths. In fact there are many ways to get a good dose of fresh air around here – both the adventure trails of Klimbos Ermelo and the gentle grazing space of Ermelo sheepfold are within easy walking distance, and the banks of the Veluwerandmeren are about half an hour away by bike for beach time and water-based activities. When you’re not out and about, there are active options on site too, including both indoor and outdoor swimming pools (with a kids’ pool and waterslide for extra fun), a tennis court, a playground and a summer programme of kids’ activities. There’s also a sauna where you can soothe aching muscles after a long walk or bike ride. Barbecues and campfires are both permitted here, and there’s a handy food shop on site where you can pick up many of the bits you’ll need (and a bigger supermarket is 10 minutes’ cycle away in Ermelo). The site also has a snack bar and a restaurant/bar for the times when you’d rather someone else did the cooking.

Local attractions

Getting out for a walk is a great way to get a good dose of fresh air – but if you (or the kids) fancy a different activity, you can wander over to Klimbos Ermelo (five minutes' walk) for adventures on the treetop trails and ziplines. There are also outdoor and indoor playgrounds, laser games and a trampoline park at Boerderij-Pret (10 minutes’ drive). If you like your days out to have a bit of a historical/cultural vibe, nearby attractions like Museum Het Pakhuis (five minutes), Museumboerderij Mariahoeve (10 minutes) and Kasteel Staverden (10 minutes) may well fit the bill. You could also spend the day in Harderwijk (15 minutes), visiting the Foundation City Museum and Marius van Dokkum Museum, or take in the Dutch Baroque architecture and formal gardens of Palace Het Loo (25 minutes). Kids not into such things? Set your sights on a day at Walibi Holland or animal encounters at Apenheul instead (both 25 minutes).
