Rent a holiday apartment in Elp

If you would like to rent a holiday apartment in Elp, your travel planning begins in a small village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. Elp is surrounded by a rural, forested landscape with opportunities for hiking and cycling. If days spent in nature are the focus of your family trip, Elp is an option to consider as a rural base.

Village history as part of the local identity

Elp was first mentioned in writing as early as 1362; the Bronze Age Elp culture also bears the name of the village. This archaeological culture extends beyond the village itself in historical terms and therefore points beyond the specific location. In addition to its landscape, Elp thus offers a clear historical connection for your travel planning.

Combining hiking, cycling and excursions

Choosing Elp is particularly suitable when hiking and cycling in a forested, rural setting are the main focus. The nature surrounding the village gives your stay a clear direction, without requiring you to limit your trip to these activities.

Elp can suit an itinerary that combines days in the countryside with excursions to Assen, Orvelte or WILDLANDS Adventure Zoo in the wider area. These destinations are not part of Elp, but belong to the region’s wider range of excursion options. If you would like to combine days in nature with regional excursions, Elp can therefore be included in your plans as a rural base.

Compare holiday apartments, holiday homes and hotels
