Holiday home in nature in the Netherlands

You don't have to leave the country for a nature holiday. The Netherlands offers a surprising number of peaceful spots surrounded by nature. A holiday home surrounded by nature in Drenthe, the Veluwe, or Texel is perfect if you want a quick escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Prefer something a little less obvious? Friesland, Limburg, and the Biesbosch also offer beautiful locations for a weekend or midweek getaway surrounded by nature. Imagine waking up to the sound of birdsong, walking without meeting a soul, and ending the day with a book on the terrace of your woodland cabin.

Holiday home in nature abroad

Want to venture a little further afield, but without traveling too far? There are plenty of options just across the border. For example, choose a holiday home surrounded by nature in the Ardennes—just a few hours' drive away, you'll find yourself in a completely different world of hills, forests, and streams. Germany also offers many beautiful nature reserves, such as the Black Forest (Schwarzwald), the Harz Mountains, or the Eifel. Perfect for those who love hiking, fresh mountain air, and picturesque villages.
