Holiday homes in Hulshorst (Veluwemeer)
Hulshorst is an authentic village on the Veluwemeer lake in
Gelderland, one of the most beautiful wetlands in the Netherlands. The lake is located between the Northern Veluwe and Eastern Flevoland and is surrounded by beautiful villages such as
Harderwijk in Gelderland and
Zeewolde in
Flevoland. The Veluwemeer is a popular destination for a holiday or
weekend getaway in the Netherlands. During the summer months it’s a paradise for water sports enthusiasts, because it’s a great place for sailing and wind surfing. From Hulshorst you can directly enter the water with a boat or surfboard. Along the shores you will find beautiful beaches where you can sunbathe and swim. It’s also lovely here in winter; many ice skating opportunities arise once the lake is frozen.
Exploring Hulshorst and the surrounding area
A holiday home in Hulshorst is an excellent base for exploring both the village and the area. You can start with a walk through Hulshorst itself. One of the main attractions is the pretty white chapel, which is part of the Reformed Municipality of
Nunspeet (to which Hulshorst belongs). Another attraction is the De Maagd windmill, a flour mill that was originally built in 1894. After two restorations, the mill has been in use since 1988. From Hulshorst you can also take nice daytrips in the area. With the Veluwe around the corner you can choose from the most beautiful walking and cycling routes through nature. Other famous attractions in the region are the Apenheul and the Koningin Juliana Toren amusement park (both near Apeldoorn), the Dolfinarium in Harderwijk and Walibi
amusement park in Biddinghuizen. Alternatively, visit the famous Kröller-Müller Museum near the town of Otterlo.
