Discover Rutten: Village Square, Countryside and Experiences

Rutten between the village square and open countryside

When choosing a holiday apartment in Rutten, you can combine two sides of the village: the centre with Emmaus Church and the countryside along the Ruttense Vaart. There is also motorsport, garden diversity, an offering specifically aimed at children and regional food. The key factor is therefore less a single type of holiday than which of these specific facets you want to shape your trip.

Church and village square

Emmaus Church was put into use on 1 June 1960. It is explicitly connected to the intersection of the two main roads at Rutten’s centrally located square village green. You can incorporate the connection between the church, intersection and square into your own daily itinerary without reducing the village to a single experience.

Active experiences and garden diversity

For motorsport, MC NOP "De Ruttense Brug" has a 1,250-metre motocross track located in Rutten. Its surface is a mixture of sand and clay; at the same time, the track is suitable for both experienced and beginner riders. A KNMV licence is required for training on the track. This combination helps you consciously distinguish between active days and other interests when choosing the focus of your holiday.

Kwekerij Joosten has a 2,400-square-metre show garden shaped like an iris flower. The collection comprises more than 1,300 cultivars. Iris- en hemerocalliskwekerij Joosten is one of the largest iris and hemerocallis nurseries in Europe. The garden theme adds another planning focus to the active side; Kabouterpad Rutten is specifically intended for children who live in or visit Rutten.

Vaart, bridge and landscape

The Ruttense Vaart runs along the village of Rutten. From the bridge where the Lemsterweg crosses the Ruttense Vaart, there is a view of the expanse of the arable fields on one side and a broad strip of trees on the other. This contrast may be important when choosing your location if you want to experience open fields and a broad strip of trees as distinct landscape impressions.

Regional products for planning your trip

Streekwinkel Van de Buren offers organic meat from Melkveehouderij Keurentjes in Rutten, potatoes and onions from Van Ginkel in Rutten, and soups and mashed-potato dishes from Pies of Keek in Rutten. The range therefore extends from meat, potatoes and onions to prepared dishes. If you take regional food and prepared dishes into account when choosing your holiday apartment, this selection is a concrete aspect to weigh among your interests.
