Between two national parks

Soof Retreats Heuvelrug is located near two national parks. Drive 25 minutes east and you'll end up at Hoge Veluwe National Park. Rent bikes and see the landscapes in this area change from hilly sandy plains to forests. Take a walk through the sculpture garden of the Kröller-Müller Museum, take a look inside at the works of Van Gogh and who knows, you might spot a red deer or roe deer in the park. Step out of the accommodation and you are basically already in the nature reserve called National Park Utrechtse Heuvelrug. Relax in the moors, visit sights like the Pyramid of Austerlitz, and enjoy walks and bike rides over the hills of this green piece of nature.

City Trips

At Soof Retreats Heuvelrug, you will find complete relaxation. But do you still need some extra stimulation? Then drive to one of the nice cities nearby. Amersfoort, Utrecht, Arnhem and Nijmegen are all less than 45 minutes away. Go shopping at Hoog Catharijne in Utrecht or take a nice walk through the old center. Nijmegen also has a beautiful historic center with nice boutiques, squares full of cozy terraces and good restaurants. Adorable Amersfoort is bursting with beautiful buildings and cozy streets. Find a spot by the water and end your day with a drink. Going in the direction of Arnhem? Here, too, you can store and eat well. Plenty of options!


With children in the area

Around the glamping in Utrecht province is plenty to do for young and old! Go in bad weather towards Ballorig in Veenendaal, a 12-minute drive away. At this indoor playground, children will entertain themselves for hours. When the weather is nice, a visit to Ouwehands Zoo is a good idea. A 15-minute drive and you'll be face to face with a giant panda, elephant, or polar bear.

History at Amerongen Castle

A 10-minute drive or 25-minute bike ride away is Amerongen Castle. This special castle from the 17th century can be admired from the outside as well as the inside. Walk the decorated hallways and view the collection of furniture, portraits, musical instruments, and other objects. Before you return to the glamping, take a walk through the garden and take a look at the flower garden, the vegetable garden, and the orchard.

    Everything top super clean and well kept cottages. Only minus point was that neither bedroom had a king size bed. For the rest hugely enjoyed the location in the middle of the woods. Lovely hot tub in the garden what more could you want. Ideal place to de-stress!

    Alles top super schoon en goed verzorgde huisjes. Enige min puntje was dat er in geen van beide slaap kamers een kingsize bed aanwezig was. Voor de rest enorm genoten van de locatie midden in de bossen. Heerlijke hottub in de tuin wat wil je nog meer. Ideale plek om lekker te ontstressen!

    Great weekend break. The hot tub was wonderful, and accommodation was clean, modern, and full of all the conveniences of home. The only detail missed was the linens - the towels could have been better and the sheets pulled off the bed at night.

    An experience not to be missed! Soof is a small-scale park set in quiet beautiful surroundings. The lodges are very spacious with lots of privacy and are tastefully decorated. A lovely large terrace with several seating areas makes it complete. The lodge is equipped with all comforts: a fully equipped modern kitchen, spacious bathroom and second toilet in the hall, lovely beds (made on arrival). Brasserie Soof is also small in size and very cozy. We had a delicious lunch there. The communication via Whatsapp was perfect. We will definitely come back. Thanks to the whole team for wonderful days.

    Een beleving om niet te missen! Soof is een kleinschalig opgezet park in een rustige prachtige omgeving. De lodges zijn zeer ruim van opzet met veel privacy en zijn met smaak ingericht. Een heerlijk groot terras met verschillende zitjes maakt het geheel compleet. De lodge is voorzien van alle gemakken: een volledig uitgeruste moderne keuken, ruime badkamer en tweede toilet in de hal, heerlijke bedden (opgemaakt bij aankomst). Brasserie Soof is eveneens klein van opzet en erg gezellig. We hebben er heerlijk geluncht. De communicatie via Whatsapp verliep perfect. Wij komen zeker terug. Dank aan het hele team voor heerlijke dagen.
