A wooden nature house located on the Rhine, between the Betuwe and Utrechtse Heuvelrug, on four acres of its own land. It is completely free at the edge of a forest plot with a large pond and hiking trails. The cottage was originally built and furnished as a care home and is therefore not your average vacation home. Natural and sustainable materials have been used as much as possible, hence the Green Key gold certification. Inside, it is bright and tastefully decorated with an eye for detail. You have a view of the meadow and orchard with farm animals. Fruit, eggs, nuts and fruit juices from our own yard. Your neighbor is the little owl and if you are lucky the kingfisher skims over the pond. In this unique Dutch landscape, on one bank of the Rhine lies the vast forest area of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug. On the other bank stretches the river landscape with wide floodplains, fruit crops and old farms, characteristic of this part of Gelderland. The vast land is ideally suited for cycling and walking tours, some of which run close to the cottage. The foot and bicycle ferry, just down the dike, takes you across from April to October.
Nature and surroundings
The land on which the nature house stands virtually borders the Gelders Landschap nature reserve De Marspolder, part of an elongated nature reserve along the Lower Rhine. Throughout the year you can make beautiful cycling and hiking trips in National Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Here you will find 56 registered hiking trails. Special walks are those to the geological monuments the Grebbeberg near Rhenen and the former tobacco plantation Willem III near Elst. Upstream is nature reserve De Blauwe Kamer, where the waters of the Lower Rhine have free play. De Blauwe Kamer is a paradise for bird lovers. The bird hide offers a view of the bird sanctuary. Spoonbills, egrets and cormorants are regularly spotted, and increasingly the osprey. From the Blauwe Bever, the river-safari boat of the Utrechts Landschap, you discover the characteristic north bank of the Lower Rhine. Along the banks there is room for plants and animals that are rare or nearly extinct in the Netherlands (otter, beaver, spoonbill, black stork, kingfisher, crested newt, salmon and water violet). Along the way, an expert guide will tell you about the special features.
