Beautiful Giethoorn

Giethoorn, often called the 'Venice of the North', is famous for its picturesque waterways, thatched-roof farmhouses, and rustic bridges. Visitors can rent traditional 'punter' boats or join canal cruises to explore the village from the water. The car-free paths invite you to enjoy leisurely walks. Local restaurants offer delicious regional dishes, and in the various museums you can dive into the rich history of this unique waterside village—all just half an hour away from the glamping.

Dive into nature

Dwingelderveld National Park, less than 5 km from EuroParcs Ruinen, is the largest wet heathland in Europe and a true paradise for nature lovers. This unique landscape is home to a rich variety of special flora and fauna. During a walk or bike ride, you might come face to face with a flock of sheep—a magical sight, especially during lambing season. The park offers plenty of challenging mountain bike trails and picturesque walking routes. Along the way, you can spot the rare plant species and birds that call this area home. What makes Dwingelderveld so special is its harmonious blend of nature, cultural history, and tranquility. A visit is an unforgettable experience, allowing you to leave behind the hustle and bustle of daily life.

A day in history

The dolmens at Havelte and Diever, both just over a fifteen-minute drive away, are impressive prehistoric burial monuments built by the people of the Funnel Beaker culture. These ancient stones bear witness to a rich history and mysterious traditions. Visiting these monuments is like a journey back in time, where you can marvel at the skills and rituals of our ancestors. Surrounded by picturesque nature and tranquility, the dolmens are not only historic but also a visual treat. Exploring these areas offers a unique combination of nature, history, and culture. For both families and history enthusiasts, it is a fascinating and educational outing that provides deeper insight into early life in the Netherlands.

    We stayed with several friends in a cube with a hot tub. The accommodation was clean, check-in and check-out went smoothly and all in all we had a quiet and relaxed stay. The garbage collection point is located at reception. It was quite a long walk to get there. There should be more places to collect garbage. Parking directly at the accommodation with a car was uncomplicated.

Die Unterkunft war sauber, der Check In und Check Out haben reibungslos geklappt und wir hatten alles in allem eine ruhige und entspannte Aufenthaltszeit. Der Sammelplatz für den Müll befindet sich an der Rezeption. Der Weg dorthin war ziemlich weit. Es sollte mehr Sammeltmöglichkeiten für den Müll geben. Parken direkt an der Unterkunft mit einem PKW war unkompliziert möglich.

    Ons verblijf bij EuroParcs Ruinen was werkelijk een heerlijke en geweldige vakantie-ervaring. Vanaf het moment van aankomst voelden we direct de rust en de fijne sfeer van het park. De omgeving is prachtig groen en perfect om even helemaal te ontsnappen aan de dagelijkse drukte. De accommodatie was netjes, comfortabel en van alle gemakken voorzien. Vooral de combinatie van natuur, rust en de kindvriendelijke faciliteiten maakte het verblijf extra prettig. Ook de ligging vlak bij mooie wandel- en fietsroutes zorgde ervoor dat er iedere dag iets leuks te doen was. Wat deze vakantie echt bijzonder maakte, was het ontspannen gevoel dat het park uitstraalt. Of je nu lekker wilt genieten van de natuur, quality time met het gezin zoekt of gewoon even tot rust wilt komen: EuroParcs Ruinen is daar absoluut een perfecte plek voor. Wij kijken met veel plezier terug op deze fantastische vakantie en komen hier zeker nog eens terug.

    There were 2 of us in a Solo Retreat 4. Is actually a kind of Tiny House. Had to get used to having to crawl over the footboard to sleep. Are also no doors. The modern shower is small and has no sliding door, making it very wet. The car-free lane was nice and quiet and beautifully landscaped and nice lights hung.

    Wij zaten met 2 personen in een Solo Retreat 4. Is eigenlijk een soort Tiny House. Was even wennen dat je over het voeteneind moet kruipen om te kunnen slapen. Zijn ook geen deuren. De moderne douche is klein en heeft geen schuifdeur, waardoor het erg nat wordt. Het autovrije laantje was heerlijk rustig en prachtig aangelegd en leuke lampjes opgehangen.
