Holiday apartment in Someren: Discover heathland, fens and culture

Someren combines experiences in nature with a vibrant local history. Heathland and fen areas, signposted hiking trails, cycling routes, historic mills and cultural attractions offer a variety of ways to spend your holiday days. When you choose a holiday apartment in Someren, you can plan your stay around your preferred combination of activities, family experiences and regional history.

Holiday apartment in Someren for days in nature and on hiking trails

The Strabrechtse Heide is one of the largest heathland areas in the Netherlands and combines woodland and heathland with small fen areas. The Beuven is the largest fen area in the Netherlands. Natuurpoort Vennenhorst is a starting point for routes through the forests, heathland and fen areas of De Heihorsten nature park. From there, the Strabrechtse Heide can be reached via hiking and cycling paths.

The signposted Keelvenroute is a hiking trail through woodland, heathland and fen areas, as well as through the Het Keelven nature development area. For families and travellers with different mobility needs, the paved Allemans routes at Natuurpoort Vennenhorst provide clear guidance: they are suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Cycling routes with different daily distances

The Someren-De Peel cycling route network connects various cycling junctions, from which individual routes can be put together. The 30 km Strabrechtse Heide cycling route starts and ends at Wilhelminaplein in the centre of Someren. The 45 km Peelroute from Someren takes cyclists to De Groote Peel National Park. The different route lengths help you plan active days to suit the time available to you.

Village history, mills and culture

The Dorpswandeling in Someren is a guided circular tour through the centre of Someren-Dorp. It passes Wilhelminaplein, Laan ten Roode, the Heemhuis and the Archaeology House, the monastery garden in Postelpark, Kerkstraat and Postel. Heemhuis Heemkundekring De Vonder offers a library and historical information about Someren and the surrounding area.

The mills also give local history a distinctive character. Den Evert is a post mill built by the Abbey of Postel in 1543. The De Victor windmill was built by T.J. Rooijmans in 1853 and offers guided tours for all age groups. Stichting Vrienden van Museum Den Evert preserves and displays a collection of old agricultural and horticultural tools and materials typical of the region.

Family swimming pool and stage programme

The De Diepsteeckel outdoor swimming pool is Someren's family pool. Another cultural option is Natuurtheater De Donck: every year, it presents two productions with several performances, a youth production in May and an adult production in September. This allows you to combine days in nature, swimming and culture at different holiday paces.

Useful information for planning your trip

The Toeristisch Informatiepunt Someren Natuurlijk is located at De Meer 21a in Someren. Land van de Peel provides an events calendar for Someren and the surrounding municipalities, as well as information about attractions, hiking and cycling routes and other tourist services. These different points of contact complement the specific selection of excursions and daily destinations.

When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you mainly want to use hiking trails, cycling loops, guided local-history tours, family-oriented facilities or changing cultural events.
