Nature house in Kalenberg

The property where this 3-person apartment is located is situated in the heart of De Weerribben National Park, offering a fantastic view of the swaying reeds and ponds in the hamlet of Hoogeweg. This area consists of just a handful of houses along the only narrow road that winds its way through De Weerribben, passing between the peat ponds. Lining this idyllic little road are the characteristic peat harvesters’ cottages with small bridges that give this area its picturesque charm. The property features three separate accommodations: a stylish apartment, the garden room, and a vacation home. The property is tucked away among the reeds and offers plenty of outdoor space to enjoy the sun and nature undisturbed. The apartment has its own entrance off the thatched-roof house. It features a kitchen, bathroom, living room with French doors opening onto the garden, and a terrace overlooking De Weerribben. The bedroom with a double bed is on the first floor. The spacious landing features an additional box bed and a toilet.

The nature house is nestled in the heart of Weerribben-Wieden National Park, where tranquility, open space, and nature come together. The narrow road running alongside the property is the only access route to the village of Kalenberg, located about two kilometers away in the heart of the Weerribben. Enjoy phenomenal views every day of the peat ponds (drainage channels) with swaying reeds and numerous birds. Here you’ll still find peace and quiet, broken only by the sounds of swans, geese, and cormorants. The cottage is located in the hamlet of Hoogeweg/Kalenberg, which consists of just a handful of houses and Café De Weerribben. From here, you can paddle directly into the area by canoe or boat. For cyclists, there are several marked bike routes in the area. Adventurous hikers can enter the area via the “Laarzenpad” trail, where they can cross the waterway using a small ferry. Naturally, this nature reserve is a popular destination for nature lovers. For example, there are bird-watching huts at various locations throughout the national park. In addition to its abundant birdlife, this area is known as a habitat for many roe deer, rare dragonflies, and otters, which were reintroduced here years ago.
