The Dutch big five, including red deer, wild boar and Scottish Highlanders, have all the space they need here. The environs of Hotel Thermen Bussloo are the perfect setting to explore, experience and relax. Here are a few tips for your visit.
The most beautiful nature reserve in Holland
The countryside around Bussloo is spectacular all year round. The village of Voorst enjoys a fantastic location on the Veluwe, in the Ijssel valley, offering you the best of these two landscapes. From here, you can explore beautiful heathlands, sandy plains, rivers and forests.
Cycle through the nearby village of Twello for example, stopping along the way for a drink, a lunch serving natural local produce or an artisan ice cream. Or why not cycle towards Apeldoorn, a route that also has plenty of attractions along the way, such as Het Loo Palace or Berg en Bos city park. Explore them on foot, on your bike or on horseback. Between the Veluwe and the IJssel you will find the most beautiful landscapes that the Netherlands has to offer!
Popular cycling and walking routes
The attraction of our region is its tremendous diversity – from vast floodplains, grand, traditional IJssel farmhouses and dense forests to charming villages and the peace and quiet of nature. So whether you want to enjoy a walk through the countryside, cycle towards cultural highlights or historical cities or hop on your road bike or mountain bike – everything is possible!
Active, cultural and historical excursions
If you are in the mood for an adventure while exploring the local region, why not go for a run around Lake Bussloo or venture out on one of Manage Voorst’s horses? Or climb one of the watchtowers on the Veluwe, spot deer or wild boar in the woods at sunrise or enjoy a round of golf at Pitch & Putt Bussloo. After your adventure, you can return ‘home’ to us to relax and unwind...
... Or perhaps you might want to enjoy the rich history of the Veluwe first? The area is steeped in precious memories and cultural gems. Visit the historic cities of Zutphen and Deventer, pay a visit to the Kröller-Muller Museum or stroll past Cannenburch Castle, Ter Horst Caste or Het Loo Palace. There’s plenty to discover!
