Our nature house is located in Dwingelderveld National Park, the largest wet heathland area in Western Europe and the quietest area in the Netherlands. There you’ll find heathland, forest, shifting sand dunes, and more than forty ponds. Thanks to the diversity of the Dwingelderveld, it is home to a wide variety of plants and animals. There are countless ways to enjoy this unique landscape. You can hike, bike, run, ride horses, and go birdwatching in hides and behind screens. The Natuurmonumenten visitor center is within walking distance of our cottages, and the Ruinen sheepfold is nearby. It’s the ideal base from which to explore the area. Charming villages like Dwingeloo and Diever are well worth a visit, and a trip to the hunebeds is a must. Drenthe National Park is home to three hunebeds. The village of Ruinen has several cozy restaurants and cafes, and a supermarket.
