Holiday apartment in Heelsum between the Beekdal, history and golf

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Heelsum, you can plan your trip around a clear mix of landscape, culture and sport. The Heelsums Beekdal, the Kerkje op de Heuvel, the Airborne Monument and Golfbaan Heelsum each offer a different focus. For a family holiday, you can consider whether nature, historic sites or a day of sport should determine the desired pace. A holiday home in Heelsum can also be chosen based on which of these themes are important to you during your stay.

Heelsums Beekdal and the circular walk

The Heelsums Beekdal is a distinctive area on the edge of the Veluwe, extending along Oosterbeek, Wolfheze, Doorwerth, Heelsum and Renkum. Four streams flow through the Heelsums Beekdal: the Papiermolenbeek, the Wolfhezerbeek, the Rondeelbeek and the Heelsumse beek. The Doorwerth/Heelsum circular walk is 6.84 kilometres long and leads through Doorwerth and Heelsum.

History in Heelsum itself

The Kerkje op de Heuvel in Heelsum dates from 1517. It features stained-glass windows, the monumental Van Rossum organ and a crypt belonging to the Van Brakell family. The Airborne Monument in Heelsum consists of a metal statue of a parachutist, a Pegasus, a cannon and two information panels. The traditional memorial ceremony at the Airborne Monument in Heelsum takes place on 17 September; it is preceded by a memorial service and a silent march. For your daily planning, the Kerkje op de Heuvel with its features and the Airborne Monument with its memorial ceremony therefore offer two different cultural focuses to choose from.
