Minicamping het Hijkerveld

How do you like your trails? Those of you with a thing for mountain biking will want to drift over to Col du Vam (20 minutes’ drive) for forest and meadow tracks, while those who prefer to put their trust in a sturdy pair of shoes can choose between the scenery of the popular Plankenpad walk in Dwingelderveld National Park (25 minutes) or forest trails in Boswachterij Gee (25 minutes). While the greenery’s handsome as it is, there’s also the attractive blue waters of Blauwe Meer (15 minutes) and 't Nije Hemelriek (half an hour) too, a lake with an aqua park (waterslides and bouncy castles included). When you’re ready to turn your attention to the sky, Westerbork’s observatory (15 minutes) will let you take a closer look at the stars and planets, while the rides at the Drouwenerzand Attractiepark B.V. theme park (half an hour) will take you up high. Now for the learning along the way: Herinneringscentrum Kamp Westerbork (10 minutes) is a remembrance camp with remains from World War II or there are boat and canoe trips around the trading towns in De Weerribben-Wieden National Park (45 minutes) for a look at the workings of older times.
