Holiday apartment in Wezep: heathland, trails and history

Wezep combines open heathland, Veluwe forest and trails that connect nature, outdoor activities and history. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Wezep will find a place where different daily itineraries can be planned around specific destinations. Wezepsche Heide, De Vuursteenberg, Landgoed De Oldhorst and the routes in the Oldebroek area each add their own distinctive emphasis.

Discover heathland and forest landscapes

Wezepsche Heide covers 260 hectares and is part of the Natura 2000 network. It is accessible from sunrise to sunset. Part of the long-distance Het Westerborkpad hiking trail runs through Wezepsche Heide, making this natural area interesting for longer hiking stages as well.

De Vuursteenberg offers a different landscape character. This nature area is a typical lichen-rich Veluwe forest landscape on the push moraine of the northwestern Veluwe and is also part of an ancient meltwater terrace from the Ice Age. De Vuursteenberg is also part of the Veluwe’s open wildlife area. A 2.5 km red-marked hiking trail runs through the area.

Routes for walks, runs and cycling tours

The Looproute Wezep partly runs through Wezep Noord and is suitable for both walkers and runners. The surface is paved, and the route is also lit in the evenings. This provides a clear contrast with the nature trails through heathland and forest.

From the car park at Veluwe TOP Wezep, you can choose between various hiking and cycling routes. For longer cycling tours, the Fietsroute WO2 Oldebroek is available, with a length of more than 42 km. In the municipality of Oldebroek, it passes crash sites, hiding places, streets named after people who lost their lives, and other significant sites from the Second World War. The different route lengths help you determine your preferred daily itinerary when selecting the route.

Gardens, a monument and regional remembrance

Landgoed De Oldhorst adds a cultural and historical focus to the natural experiences. The estate’s house is a Rijksmonument and was built in 1751. Landgoed De Oldhorst includes a park-like garden area with streams, a distinctive grotto and berceaux. As the estate is privately owned, it can only be visited as part of a guided tour.

The Collectie Oldebroek 4045 en omstreken also provides historical orientation. It comprises objects and documents originating mainly from the northeastern Veluwe, but also from other parts of the Netherlands. Together with the Fietsroute WO2 Oldebroek, it offers access to regional places of remembrance and the history of the surrounding area.
