Surroundings
There is plenty to do in the surroundings of Buitenplaats Holten! The area surrounding the park combines the beauty of the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park, with the village of Holten on one side and the city of Rijssen on the other. You can literally walk or cycle straight into the Sallandse Heuvelrug National Park from the Buitenplaats Holten Holiday Park to enjoy its heath and forest. The surrounding views are hardly recognisable as part of the Dutch landscape, you may even wonder whether you’re really in the Netherlands. The Sallandse Heuvelrug is located between Hellendoorn and Holten and offers many cycling routes and walking trails. The most notable hills are the Hellendoornse Berg, the Haarlerberg, the Holterberg and the Koningsbelt. The local nature is varied and contains some remarkable species of animals. The black grouse is almost extinct and can only be found on the Sallandse Heuvelrug. Many grouse have been killed by traffic, which is why traffic has been restricted in this area. This is another reason why the area is an excellent choice for a cycling holiday! Additionally, Buitenplaats Holten is close to Deventer. Our holiday park near Deventer is a must if you are looking for a base from which to visit Deventer.
