Nature house in Volkel

On an abandoned railroad line, you will find complete relaxation. Get away from the city. Walking, cycling, sleeping like a prince and having a regal breakfast. Around 1873 you could have waved to the monarchs, Russian tsars and diplomats who whizzed by on their journey through Europe. At this nature house you can now enjoy around our 1875 railroad guard house in privacy the peace and nature along the former "German Line". Recharge, refuel and enjoy. Promised. Breakfast like an emperor, lunch like a king and dine like a beggar, they say. That's why at Wachtpost 29 you breakfast from beautiful, brocante breakfast plates. With farm-fresh eggs from the Wachtpost chickens, warm-smelling bread and homemade jams made from whatever can be picked in the neighborhood. You can order this regal breakfast from us for €10 per person. Children under 12 pay only half. PS Are you coming with only two persons? Then we'll give you breakfast for free. (Price includes tourist tax).

If you like walking, you can walk straight from the Wachtpost into nature. Within cycling distance lies De Maashorst nature reserve, where you can make both beautiful walks and cycling tours. Stroll together over the Bedafse Bergen, a special piece of primal area with shifting dunes. Or walk through nature reserve Molenheide, a former production forest with heathland, two beautiful pools, Highland cattle and many songbirds and birds of prey.Furthermore, the estate of Tongelaar castle is a must, where you can get (free) walking and cycling maps in the field store. The Wachtpost is near a bicycle junction, from where you can plan beautiful rides. A map with all the junctions in the area is waiting for you.
