Camping De Harmienehoeve

Need a break from Camping De Harmienehoeve’s country living? Fret not, you’re not too far from the urban – the village of Aalten and the town of Winterswijk are both within 20 minutes’ drive of the site, and there’s plenty to lure you to either. Winterswijk was home to renowned artist Piet Mondriaan and you can explore his childhood home (and some of his artwork) at the Villa Mondriaan museum. Art not your thing? Make tracks at go-karting instead, or travel just outside town for a tasting at Vineyard Hesselink or to wander around Rosenhaege Living Gardens. In Aalten, visit the Nationaal Onderduikmuseum to learn the stories of people who went into hiding during World War II. If that's proving too dark for the kids, take them to the Kinderboerderij de Ahof petting zoo, or venture a little further for Megapret amusement park. If you're lucky enough to be in a position to take slightly longer car journeys, the stunning Middachten Castle and Veluwezoom National Park are scenic musts for some peace and quiet. Run out of things to do? Nip over to Germany to explore the city of Bocholt (visit the textile work museum, the city museum and the stunning town hall), or bring the kids to Bahia Erlebnisbad indoor waterpark.
