Family-friendly site a few minutes' bike ride from Horst and Melderslo
Overloon, Arcen and Toverland amusement park within a 20-minute drive
Great area for cycling; pick up maps and route ideas on site

It’s not compulsory to bring a bike along to Camping De Eendenkooi, but it is a mighty fine idea. The Limburg surrounds of this family-friendly site are prime cycling territory: mercifully flat and generously supplied with plenty of cycle paths taking in some of the countryside enticingly known as ‘Strawberry Land’ for its bountiful berry fields. Concerned about veering off route? Fear not – there are plenty of maps about, and several themed routes to follow (including the Rose Route and the tasty-sounding Blueberry Route). Once you’ve got your bearings, pedal off to nearby villages, pick up a path along the banks of the Maas river or head for the sandy landscapes of the Maasduinen National Park. Closer to home, a bike is a useful thing for popping off to the shop and bakery in Melderslo, less than a kilometre away, or heading into the centre of Horst, a 10-minute ride away. Bike-free types needn’t miss out on the berries, either – pick up a map and head out for a stroll among the soft fruits, or seek out a kid-friendly route like the Knights and Rovers path for a change of scenery. A fishing pond and lake beach are a short stroll away too, and there’s plenty more to take in with the local museums, amusement parks and castles. If you’ve not entirely worn yourselves out with all of the above, time on site can be spent at the play area, the games room or setting up a game of pétanque; for something a tad gentler, stroll around to meet the farm animals that live on site.

Local attractions

Once you’ve checked out the strawberries and blueberries, continue your foodie exploration among the mushroom and asparagus exhibits at Museum de Locht (five minutes by bike) and the Zoemhukske honey farm (five minutes in the other direction). A beer to wash it all down with can be found at Hertog Jan Brewery, half an hour away. For a break from the foodie touring, check out the gorgeous rose displays in Lottum (10 minutes’ drive) aim for the fab floral gardens around Arcen Castle (20 minutes) or head over to Overloon (20 minutes) for the zoo and the peaceful trails of the Overloon War Museum. The magic-themed rides and shows at Toverland (20 minutes) are a good option if you’ve got kids in tow, too. Keen to soak up more of the scenery? Head to De Groote Peel National Park (45 minutes) to hike and birdwatch, then soothe any post-activity aches with a warm-water soak at the thermal baths in Arcen (25 minutes).
