Nature and surroundings

There are many hiking and biking opportunities near Fortmond. The farm is located in Overijssel, but the Veluwe in Gelderland is within cycling distance. The foot/bike ferry to Veessen (Kozakkenveer) is just around the corner and operates from April 1 through October 1. The Staatsbosbeheer information center in Den Nul and an observation tower in the Duursche Waarden are within walking distance. So is the Fortmonderbos, which the garden overlooks. Near the information center is a bird-watching hide with a view of the Duursche Waarden. White-tailed eagles, peregrine falcons, buzzards, and other birds are often spotted here! Upon your arrival, we’d be happy to tell you more about the beautiful surroundings. The information center in Den Nul is also a wonderful spot for lunch, information about the wider area, an exhibition space, and a museum. Open from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., 7 days a week.

    Spacious nature house with more than enough room for 2 adults.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    A warm welcome! It’s wonderfully cool during these hot days. The place is fully equipped with all the amenities you need. Plenty of space and very quiet. The renowned Duursche Waarden nature reserve is nearby, featuring an observation hut and hiking trails, among other things.
