Holiday apartment in Sint Anthonis for active days
The Staatsbossen near Sint Anthonis feature four interconnected hiking trails. Each trail can be walked in a short or long version; together, they allow hikes ranging from 2 to 26 km. These different lengths help you plan your hiking day to suit your plans. When travelling with children of different ages, the choice between shorter and longer routes can be just as important as it is for a group with varied interests.
The surrounding area can also be explored by bicycle along themed routes. The “Rondom Sint Anthonis” cycling route is 44 km long. At the Natuurpoort, nature activities also include a photo scavenger hunt, Heksenboomgolf, klootschieten and activities with a nature bag. In addition to classic hiking and cycling, this provides further specific activities to choose from for days spent on holiday together.
Natural surroundings and practical information
The Beestenveld en Klotterpeel nature area can be explored on foot via historic avenues with fens and heathland. The Koordekanaal is also part of the area. It was built in 1939 by Dutch military personnel as a defensive installation for the Second World War. This means that a walk here combines elements of the landscape with a historical connection, without requiring nature and the region’s past to be viewed separately.
De Heksenboom restaurant is an official information centre for Land van Cuijk. Maps for cycling and hiking node networks are available there. The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner. These two specific points of contact can be useful for planning your day if you want to combine nature and regional destinations from a holiday apartment or other accommodation in Sint Anthonis.
