Holiday apartment in Wekerom: Nature, Trails and Special Discoveries

Wekerom combines open landscapes, nature observation and vivid traces of the past. At its heart is Wekeromse Zand, a nature reserve of more than 500 hectares southwest of Wekerom. It consists of woodland, heathland, farmland and a unique area with drifting sand. Actively drifting sand is rare in northwestern Europe and gives this natural area an unusual character. When you choose a holiday apartment in Wekerom, you can plan a stay in which landscapes, activity and discoveries set the pace, without every day having to look the same.

Wekeromse Zand: A Natural Area with Rare Drifting Sand

At Wekeromse Zand, the reconstructed Celtic Fields are clearly visible from ground level. Along the Vijfsprongweg in Wekerom, Celtic Fields have been reconstructed in accordance with their former appearance. The Wekeromse Zand, Celtic Fields & Middelpunt route passes reconstructed Celtic Fields surrounding an Iron Age farmhouse. For visitors who want to combine nature with cultural history, this creates a vivid theme for planning the day. When choosing a holiday apartment in Wekerom, this combination of landscape and the past may be a personal criterion.

Trails with Different Focal Points

The trails offer different highlights. The Kabouterpad De Hartenberg is approximately 900 metres long and fully accessible to wheelchair users. Colourfully painted gnome posts, little houses and other features shape the trail. The Wekeromse Zand wildlife walk passes a wildlife observation site. The range therefore extends from a roughly 900-metre themed trail to a walk with a designated place for wildlife observation. When planning your holiday, you can choose between different ways of spending time outdoors.

De Bult Observation Tower and the Klompenpad Beek en Bult

De Bult Observation Tower stands in Wekerom next to Wekeromse Zand. From there, visitors have views over the Veluwe and the Gelderse Vallei. The tower is also part of the Klompenpad Beek en Bult. If, when looking for a holiday apartment in Wekerom, you value varied days combining landscape views and trail experiences, you can include these features in your choice of location.

Fruit Growing at De Jachthoeve

At De Jachthoeve in Wekerom, visitors can pick fruit themselves in the fruit-growing area from June to November. The Fruithof orchard at De Jachthoeve can be visited by arrangement with the managers. Alongside nature and walking experiences, this adds a seasonal opportunity centred on fruit growing. For a holiday apartment in Wekerom, this can be an especially interesting part of your plans if you would like to combine your stay with a visit to the fruit-growing area.
