Nature and surroundings
Near Fortmond there are many hiking and biking opportunities. The farm is located in Overijssel, but the Veluwe in Gelderland is within biking distance. The foot/bicycle ferry to Veessen (Kozakkenveer) is around the corner and sails from April 1 to October 1. 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! Upon arrival we are happy to tell you more about the beautiful surroundings.

Like to come again
Komen graag nog een keertje
A nice, quiet place in the middle of the floodplain of the river IJssel. Very friendly reception. The house is simple, but clean and well furnished, fully equipped, also great for heating in colder seasons. Nice garden around it, and a closet full of games and well-equipped kitchen. Beds are good, but on the short side for a tall man.
Een fijne, rustige plek midden in de uiterwaarde van de IJssel. Erg vriendelijke ontvangst. Het huis is eenvoudig, maar schoon en goed ingericht, van alle gemakken voorzien, ook prima te verwarmen in koudere seizoenen. Mooie tuin eromheen, en een kast vol met spelletjes en goed geoutilleerde keuken. Bedden zijn goed, maar aan de korte kant voor een lange man.

Wij gaan nog een keer!
Beautifully located in the floodplain of the river IJssel. Clean and tidy. Everything, but really everything was present, we never missed. Friendly reception.
Mooi gelegen in de uiterwaarden van de IJssel. Schoon en netjes. Alles, maar dan ook echt alles was aanwezig, we grepen nooit mis. Vriendelijke ontvangst.
