EuroParcs Reestervallei

There are plenty of walking and bike routes in the area around the site, and if you’re staying a little longer you can also plan outings to De Weerribben-Wieden National Park for hikes and boat trips or to Dwingelderveld National Park for marshes and moorland (both about half an hour’s drive). Taking in some of the area’s history and culture is a good plan too, whether you’re looking way back into the past at the ancient Hunebedcentrum (45 minutes’ drive) or checking out traditional village life at Museum Staphorst (10 minutes). A boat tour around Giethoorn (half an hour) will take you past 18th-century farmhouses and traditional bridges – and you’ll learn why this water-based village is known as the ‘Venice of the North’. If you need days out for the kids, take a trip to meet the animals at Wildlands Adventure Zoo (35 minutes) or try out all the rides, the shows and the subtropical swimming pool at Slagharen amusement park (20 minutes).
