The information center in Den Nul of Staatsbosbeheer and a watchtower in the Duursche Waarden are within walking distance. So is the Fortmonderbos on which the garden overlooks. Near the information center is a bird-watching hut overlooking the Duursche Waarden. Ospreys, peregrine falcons, buzzards and other birds are often spotted here!

It really felt like being “out in nature.” There’s a trailhead very close by.
Het voelde echt als , midden in de natuur’ zijn. Er is een startpunt voor wandelingen heel dichtbij.
A very large, wild garden behind the cottage. With a view of the countryside. Beautiful!
Heel grote wilde tuin achter het huisje. Met uitzicht over de landerijen. Prachtig!

Really everything you need is there. A screen in the bedroom would be nice.
Werkelijk alles is aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Een hor in de slaapkamer zou fijn zijn.
You are in the middle of nature and therefore in peace. On one side of the IJssel the extensive floodplains with many songbirds and even peregrine falcons. On the other side of the IJssel the beautiful forests with all its wildlife. Wonderful for walking and cycling.
Je bent midden in de natuur en dus in de rust. Aan de ene kant van de IJssel de uitgebreide uiterwaarden met veel zangvogels en zelfs slechtvalken. Aan de andere kant van de IJssel de schitterende bossen met al zijn wild. Heerlijk om te wandelen en fietsen.
