Holiday apartment in Nunspeet: Forest, Water and Veluwe Culture

Nunspeet between forest, water and culture

Nunspeet combines forest landscapes, water, trails and art. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Nunspeet, you can choose your location based on the experiences you want to shape your stay: observing nature at the Zandenbos fens, enjoying exercise on various trails, spending time by the water or making cultural discoveries in the town. Zandenbos is a forested area with hills of windblown sand that were formed as early as the 19th century.

Forest landscape with clear trail options

The restored Zandenbos fens are part of this landscape. The Ronde Huisroute passes by them; the fens form a dynamic natural area with distinctive flora and fauna. The Ronde Huisroute is 7 km long in total, starting from the transferium in Nunspeet. The fixed route length helps you plan your day, while the fens give the route a clearly defined natural setting.

Orientation for hiking and cycling trips

The Nunspeet Visitor Centre is located directly at the Veluwe Transferium Nunspeet and provides information about hiking, cycling and horse-riding routes. Hikes, cycling trips, nature activities and excursions start or end there. For travelling by bus, services 301 from Zwolle, 111 from Harderwijk and 112 from Elspeet or Apeldoorn stop near the centre of Nunspeet. This makes it possible to plan excursions around specific trails and destinations.

Water experiences between beach and sport

Water is another key attraction. Zandenplas is a recreational area in Nunspeet, in the forests of the Veluwe, and has a fine sandy beach for relaxing by the water. At Surfoever De Hoge Bijssel, you can go surfing, sailing, swimming, rowing and fishing. When planning your holiday apartment in Nunspeet, this allows you to choose between quiet relaxation on the sandy beach and various activities on the water.

Art, remembrance and milling history

The cultural history of the northern Veluwe is also present in Nunspeet. The Noord-Veluws Museum displays works by artists from the northern Veluwe and connects them with stories about the artists and the residents of this part of the Veluwe who lived and worked there from 1880 to 1950. The Noord-Veluws Art Museum in Nunspeet displays a collection of paintings and drawings by artists who were active in the northern Veluwe between 1890 and 1950. Since 2023, a monument in Park 40-45 has named all the victims of the Second World War.

Molen de Duif is also part of the local history. The grain mill was built in 1886 and restored in 1963 and 1982. It is still used to mill flour, which is sold in the shop. For a stay in a holiday apartment in Nunspeet, this selection offers different daily rhythms: nature, water, local history and art can each be combined into separate excursions.

Routes through the village and landscape

The cycling route “Door eeuwenoud boerenland” passes historic farmhouses on its way through forests, heathland and open fields. The village walk through the centre of Nunspeet passes wall poems, works of art and notable buildings, as well as places where artists lived and worked. Together with the Ronde Huisroute, these routes offer different perspectives on Nunspeet, from the landscape to the townscape.
